^up ^there^
hoping to get >>closer<<
to
__ you

how many times
have we about-faced
and walked away?

I mean,
here I am
pt. IV

because every time
I think it's the end

there he is

with something
to blow my mind
and leave my jaw
on the floor

I am olive-grey churn
knocking the shores
out cold

on this crisp
morning without rise
sunblockblur of clouds

air arrests
and ushers
me back

like morgue A/C
on blast

my sacred
electromagnet
pulses white light
then vanishes into black

strobing me blind
as fragile fingers feel
along walls for doors
stumbling over furniture

wick flickering
flame dance
amid changeling winds
