meditation on an
appreciation of life
born in stars
safe with the storming in my heart
what we are
greatest turning is our start
I collide with you
one comes from two
love comes from you
coalescence
far from me
double in me
breathing with me
doubled clearly
I’ve come far to
recognize you
I have washed from me
a redundancy
I qualified an alibi
trapping me eternally
rhapsodic harmonic
the lowly kinetic response
so easily triggered
by biggest eyes
always newest surprise
delicate elegant
newest graciousness
embellishment
this gradient
I must have misconstrued
or immobilized this memory:
the M I chose to use
was a meglomaniacal me
do I throw away the beautiful
with the executable?
dissolve the fruitful
with the inscrutable?
deflate the unbearable
unavoidable
poignant unpointable
painful incomparable
pink stain puckering powerful
poison
incomplete
I’m finding the love I’m looking for.
was the one that I adored
the more admirable score?
I’ve lost my home
you made me roam
to find inside you
— denied too —
your mystery
swallows me
one, once the taste of sweetest fruit
the unstoppable copper optic
orbiting absorbing eye
graciously questing
every entreating angle
every ingratiating oscillation
in every exhalation
an intoxication of air
inhaling an endless stare
and a perhaps too–long–lingering kiss before a cab ride home
no tongue, no teeth, no forbidden new arrangement
no taste, no space, no trap
but—oh!—the softest Jewess
the perfect feline lips
aren’t anyhip the
wildest desirest magical mixture
the loveliest carbohydrate mixture,
the shared wine & time
and the stolen skin hits, the
forbidden closeted closeness
& nothing beyond the beauty boundaries—
no fodder for shame
simply the sacred hidden magic
of unspoken uninvoked intention
