And Now.

And Now.

 

Im talking to someone

Online again

A military man

An Arab Sheik

A Taiwanese playboy

 

I’ll write a love poem

Dreaming of

Democratic republic

Of

United emirates

From this worldly

 

Place isolated, here

So known for international

Hospitality

 

And send it to an account

I’m sure is either

a robot or bored worker

 

after long counts

of emptied rejection

during some of the longest

winters on Earth

For human beings

 

United municipalities

Of tender words

And care

 

We fought for

 

Americas ice box…

 

Or, I gave up

A long time ago

And fight everyday

 

Stay lonely, advice

For flying around the

World to lose

A day, or to gain

One, Ill require.

 

Of opposites attracting

and imagined

moving together

without even knowing

            the language

            he speaks

 

But, not now.

 

but, this is so different from me.

 

Masks worth wearing

Closeness worth taking

Giving nature, the vastness

 

Between two people

Between governances

 

While alive within either one

Breaking the world

To certain love letters

 

The fire of Josephine

Is all that could suffice

At times, the fashions

Of Fanny Browne

 

A sun shining alone

A moon humming along

A certain magnitude

 

Blame the carelessness

Of daylight

Shining on anything

 

Brightening desert

Next to mountains

Next to ocean

 

Any invitation to audience

Water against the river

Shining just for you

 

Logic or release

Sinking to the vents

At the bottom of the ocean

 

Release release

Faintness closures

Underground

Seams between

Time, the base

Borders of forest

 

concentrates

Of sound

These echoes

Working for air

For water

 

For the parts necessary

To machinery

And to our bodies

 

And now

Had forgotten

How lost I could be

How close any wilderness

Could be, the universal

Tides of spring

Water: aspen roots

Exclusivity

 

To the likes

Of a cedar tree

This gnarled trunk

Of cypress

Is more common

And unkindly

But offers up

More easy fruit

 

Than those

Withstanding

The desert

Hillsides

Sand barriers
