Shifting light animates the room.

What is so ordinary about living every day,

as we do, at the threshold of each other?

Your emotions always visible in your eyes.

In you, I find my consequence.

My natural history.

In your company, irrelevance drains away.

But what is it that makes you special? Is it your intensity?

It’s your ardor.

Never a sneeze, but a rapid parade of sneezes.

My office door opening. Smiling face peering around it.

You said you couldn’t help

falling in love with me because I looked at you

with the mesmerizing gaze of a border collie.

Last night we parked in the roundabout at the end of the lane

just listening to the hiss of sodium-vapor streetlights

and watching cyclones of oak moths rising and falling.

We who are also taking place in this place.

The moon siphoned away into clouds.

Was I even there? Will I be there when you need me?
