we begin with this place and the form it takes: a blueness
on the surface and a paleness within, a singular hum
at the center
rearrange the pieces and point
to a scrawled permission, cut out the rest
we lack, we become abstract
several intersections later the part that opens and pulls apart
opens and pulls apart
cut out
fall back
gravity masquerades
we begin with this delicate pang and there is no more room: a suggestion
(will give information, will talk, will meet)
stop trying to draw parallels, it's messy
but the hunger itself is actual lack
the rest is just physical, the form it takes: gravity
will have its way and I too sink inexorably toward you
historically humans
have not fallen in love
carefully or at any sort
of measured pace
da capo: we have reached the edge
once this trajectory has begun
all the softness in the world overflows
on the surface and a paleness within, a singular hum
at the center
rearrange the pieces and point
to a scrawled permission, cut out the rest
we lack, we become abstract
several intersections later the part that opens and pulls apart
opens and pulls apart
