up there
in that big blue
expanse of beautiful
sky, my love for you unrestrained
let loose
the time
would decide what
is true and what is false
we cannot be our own judge
mind it!
let loose
not your feelings
high, I'm but a tiny
bit of hunch back, ugly and dark
mind it!
up there
in the recessed
star nebula, vessel
for erupting satellites. Wrung
vista!
mind it
and then grind it
i can hardly find it
in the deepest darkness mine it
diamond!
vista
stretched beyond the
horizon, greens and blues
violets, too.... and then coral-hued
sunsets
mind it
till the cows come
home and then hie yourself
to the watering hole, shake a
trickle
diamond
clarity of
preference, hued, in the
tradition of Oriental
princes
hmmmmm. i'm picking trickle
trickle
through my fingers
and pool about my feet.
feather-light grains of sand that i
can't grasp
can't grasp
my emotions
this animal instinct
could easily bring us trouble
take care
take care
of what you have
it can all slip away
with just one moment of despair
forgive...
forgive
my present lack
of discretion. i know
my eyes betray me. they drink your
presence.
presence
broke the suspense
of my love for those eyes
all that I could see in them was
not me
not me
floating backwards
running my fingers through
beaded doors... jangling my entrance
annoyed
annoyed
at what he said
she carped at him at once:
'Go and wipe your nose; show me not
your face!'
your face
swimming in my
memories, watery
visions of a mere liquid past
succumbed
