Menage a deux

a mix of the world, here

of all the works in

our possible realms

a foretelling then

a worry you say don’t

the world has its wears

and its surprises

both sublime and nasty

I feel a strange peace

in your arms

from which action

could happen

seasonal

Think of how you

felt as a human

ten years ago

Who was around you?

What did you think important?

Here’s to that rough

architectural magic, that strange

presence, exhausted,

then tumultuous, on fire,

never predicted, yet

eating breakfast slowly

going to work, breathing

off the ferry a little cat

runs across the approaching

dock in the warm breeze

as we bump into the new pilings

I remember my grandmother’s

White Ford Galaxy

covered

with

loads of pink

petals like wet

Kleenex

damp

heavy

damp

I have a darkness

I’m afraid to divulge

Name it, bring it into the

light—will you still love me?

I want so much to open

that I’m afraid I might crack

—afraid I might freeze
