A Kind of urning

Posted 6:41 AM by AD in Labels: , , , ,


it is
perhaps because

one way or the other
we keep this distance
closeness will tug us apart
in many directions
in
absolute din
how we love the same
trivial
pursuits and
insignificant
gewgaws
spoken
or inert
claw at the same straws
pore over the same jigsaws
trying to make heads or tails
you take the edges
i take the center
keeping fancy guard
loving beyond what
is there
you sling at the stars
i bedeck the weeds
straining in song or
profanities
towards some
fabled meet
ing apart
from what
dreams read
and
suns dismantle
we have been all the hapless
lovers
in this wayward world
in
almost all kinds of ways
except we never really meet
but for this
kind of burning.
