at and beyond the brink

*the pleasured thrills of a

une liaison dangereuse

the mystery du triangle hypoténuse

 

two open, unended lines attached

to make a so interesting right (wrong) angle,

mais sans l'hypoténuse leur est pas de connectivité

 

indeed the hypotenuse hypothetical is crack for my brain

imagination steel furnace fired, molten are my fingers

as they trace the line you left for me on your body

 

to adore to cherish to lick to follow an arrow pointing

where?

 

to the heavenly pleasures that earth reside

in our differences substantial

which intrigue rather than

divide

 

opposites attract is true and not,

we could be

we could not be more unalike

that so excites for dreams only I can uncover

in the rounded shape  of thine wide eyes

 

a horrific inserts

she is only teasing me

 

but the need to dance on the brink

the fulfillment that origins in a need perpetual

is the one that satisfies because it cannot

be fully satisfied

 

if you know this need, then you are mine bonded

 

beyond is at where the hypotenuse connect our lines,*

 

"we'd be beyond human,  beyond poem, beyond horizon,

beyond stars and black holes and daisy-chains and metaphors

with  nothing to say to say to an end, because it goes on, my dear,   -- I'll see you at the brink...dance with me there"

Notes

a woman in the shape of a young girl,

her eyes wider than a grand boulevard,

who writes me in scattered verses I can’t comprehend

takes my hands in the metro on our way to

St. Germain-des-Pres, where she will make confession

she loves another, forgetting that was her first reveal

and why I now laugh/love her maintenant, plus complètement

<•>

un jour je vous enverrai un message au parc Monceau à 1500 heures; être prêt
