the love of solitude has to be strong enough
to overcome your delusions of usefulness

you had the mind of a thief
an stole my poetry

but I was way ahead
I left them where you'd find them

changing minds with words
can take some invention

drive a train through my complacency
pull me into the carriage
and throw me out somewhere new

gentle touch
eyes meet
holding hands
smiling face
gyrating hips
sweat drips
hot breath
naked feet
lovers dance
music stops

I see in snatches, brief encounters
touched deeper than I know.

I hear many voices, feel slight changes in air pressure
pass many ships in the night.

I am an atmosphere for good or ill
can change faster than the weather.

I am not a shooting star
all that stopped so long ago.

I will be blown into space
but by the time that happens, I will be fossilised bone.
