dangling four letter words

dangling four letter words
off the tip of my tongue:

dirty and incomplete
absolute and whole.

I feel both. I acknowledge both.
and now, a part of me.

A differential equation of integrals
that dip, concave
with maximas and minimas...
and tangents that draw to infinity

Now, percentages and numbers
like dates and the clock,
have become insignificant over time.
They tell me:
"Tuum est",
while locking the door 6 feet above me.

i scratch onto skin,

four letter words:
hate-fail-hope
holy-mary-lamb
seek-love-hero

and my tongue feels less itchy.
