For a moment, I doubt your possibility. Like clues to a riddle
filling its minor gaps. And then, from a seen distance,
you sidle as if to arrive so sudden, yet slow with great impedance,
an absence I am familiar of. Next to the sound of the not-so-distant
I am deaf, wearing the same heavy mask of silence. In sequence,
when we talk, I am pale wall, I am crumpled flower, I am riddance.
I am the many versions of bad dreams
rolled in one, deep slumber. Easy it was the first time, when it was said
with precision, the things we were before, set loose in the air. Hard it was
now like a trick I have to unlearn forever. Alighting love a blind journey,
second sight as if responsibility. I watch myself wear out by much dailiness.
For a lifetime, I may, will it short so long then when I must
care less, the freedom, keep your face as instilment, memory, recall. You are
introduced without light; all the more I love the sight, so dark the enigma, gets
lost because distance always is telling of a long path – imprecise the steps, surety
when feet fall, breaking the bones like twigs. I did not mean to disrupt
your harmony – that is why dance is always a lack of another,
*“Catch the music, love, I must drop movement
and seek your return.”
