As/Is

8.07.2005

this morning

be with me
you say
I

evolve
into paired
thinking, feeling, light

perfumed in all
the varying
depths

nest
of surroundings
you look out

those blue deep
lovely eyes
notice

what
no one
notices

without
intrusion on
any felt syntax

the only recourse
left to
me

affection
made whole
fresh and transcendent

to your antenna
divvying dark
place

I
muse open
everywhere my sense

of sight sound
scent taste
feeling

roams
as cause
and effect fuse

nothing evident stays
closed now
all

acreage
is shared
we occupy space

believe this place
is who
we

say
we are
these orphans of

legacy system gone
legato for
good

song
holds just
still here now

As Creeley, I'm told, was fond of saying: "Delicious."
