JUST IN CASE: one last look  before we have to bid each other
a goodbye, for reasons before a sigh (natlips1@gmail.com)

if in the future
some way how
a need presents,
and an exchange
of words needs
campfire igniting,
reach me at

natlips1@gmail.com
(save it, now)

let us
assess our
combinatorial
progress;

let us determine If
we enhance each
other, in ways not
superficial

let us trade,
words, photos,
sensitivities,
the inner~est-mostus
of our intimates,
directly

if it be,
that we
dare share,
now you know how to find me…

but be prepared,
this forest boundary,
is porous and precious,
even precarious, 
 and yet,
with kindness we
can breach our
human, individualized
isolas (islands)

this~rope-bridge
a work in progress,
let us make it into a
superstructure
stronger than,
well respected,
for I give you my
privacy,
you,
yours

be ever cognizant,
be ever aware, that is
for kindness, and not
armament, internecine
arguments interfering.
not for
battlements,
for that we don't
lose each other's
privilege,

leaving waste to
good intent

p.s.
<nml>
with full disclosure
of our realities, and guises
familiar, so we come
full readied, prepared,
to give it all up…

"You keep me wrapped around your finger
Wrapped around your finger
I was caught up in your orbit
Spinnin' like a bullet (spinnin' like a bullet)
I was wrapped around your finger
Wrapped around your finger
Then I shot back down to Earth
(shot back down to Earth)
