You stood there like an empty window and it was
too much to bear yes i saw you secretly
sweat a humid June poem right there
but i'll stay mum till i say hello
and then?
and then?
today in the city everything is
skidding and wet
again
(it is raining)
and soon one grows sick of justifications
and the logic in particular for ex.
(who needs duckback shoes when you can stay in ..)
clack clack clack
you did and left
and now
i am left alone midnite
i am left alone midnite
making gates
moving in
and out
of you
Mmmm. Lovely. I can't quite envision a scenario here...or at least not the one you are writing of, but I love the mind making gates. It is a lonely piece, but the gates...
ReplyDeleteAs you move through, something also comes.
Thank you for reading the poems.
ReplyDeleteI had gone home the week before. The opening stanza is what i found rolled under a rack- a cheeky fragment written on a rainy day around some two years ago. Such and such and you are thrown back to the past
entirely .. So i completed it. And it was raining again !
