i want the     this&that of

(see) You are
                    in essence
the Being Of. You are It.

It is oh such a thing
                        to body dip
         in,un   writeable beauty.
to swallow You whole as
              more than idea

You are oh,such a thing to
        get into
                      & praise as
          divinity,here You are.

it is something
of a copper wire;
    vitality.         in
the longer you lap
your legs in its terra   cotta

the un bridled un
                         buttoning
  of sense
               ...
                (          a     pointless,whipping
                                             towel of wind)
                                                        ...­
& the sylphic roots
           ,whom in their
fishbowl head.
      their endless lung

                       un dressed You
         ....
                               (static RINGing
                                electric moan)
                                          ...
& Your greenhillmounds

          waltzing whistle.    )

                       cellulose We once dug
                       our fleshly little Thumbs into

                   (a two-hundred mile
                                      rockfall splash)
                                                         ...

I think about Us &
its all so.red&raw.
tingling&electric.
its all so scarring
like finger tips My
skin,like water dips.

is it thereforYou,too
? You saw Me,today,
just to see Me,Ithink.
filmic,You said it was,
I think You missed Me.
I think You feelsmooth

& miss the spinal,shock
&sparking excitement.
it is something,magnet
ic,so     enticing that We
generate. see? it is that
I think this is under Us

,Our own fidelity. You told
Me,then,that  You loved him.
Take him & Go,ifso, but I do
not see aworldinthis oyster
shell. I think You see You
are making such a misstep.

if I am not over You,then
I am under You,&You,me.
I like to think You see my
poems. I like to think how
You want to tell Me You
see'em,& howYoulike'em

I like to think Id like You
in any dimension
                   ,Yknow?
i think there is Something here.
tell Me if you read this.
or dont.,if You dont think so.

wet full shoes
hover,no stepping
over me/i laid down
sore red love

into lapping optimism
i wade/fresh&artless

,where stomach ache
petty drags your pretty
heels in some downslope
way,tuck&muster your
own chestly avalanche

(lancing ice. picture
sweeping talcum &
familiar embrace
him like old lovers)

he,precipice,falls
so small on the
heading down

his illusory breath
still combs your
hair all the same

when She is away

the open more of
    waiting,     almost
eye-watering yawn

& his hotwet breath.
oh   His hot breath
brothe new day,

suckling     oily     fingers
turning page page after page
just to read. ahead

there is pleasure...in the
wait    ******* stretch of
interlacing muscly almosts

nothings nows ending
tensing tingling when

catamaran of maybes
matt r Apr 12
using fog like a paintbrush
,god? smooth horizon
with your charm façade

& siren songs to call me
home. so alluring       so
sweet. how especially

neat - You wrap up sea
water & gift as a drink.
the weight of how i feel

could sink more than belly's
liquid yen - yet here i sail
on a catamaran of    'maybe

things will be different when
i see You                             then.'

it has this      halic aura;
the vanity of an electric fence.
it has this vanity of cauze.

it is tall.          tall & nosy.
it is toes up nose in my window.
it is evaluating in its warmth.

so tuneless,     thankfully.
**** tasting & tuneless
& shining.    almost kingly,

Your bluriness.
You do not cast
          a shadow.
matt r May 1
wave, to wonderful swirling
bluegreen cool

apex. acme. precipice of
Us; the cresting belief in
                         'We are to be'

rolls&folds me out
    to float - the polar verse
of promise in' shoes

so cymbal crash on back
of beat. the symphony aqua!
              acquiesce His sin

stroke the little seawater death.
all things in time return to wave.

— The End —
