Why am I stuck here,

Why am I stuck here,
                      revolving ’round the thought of you–
                                      that serpent inward/hid?

Why am I convincing myself
                            to be in love with you
                                                when all I feel is a twinge
                                                                       a singe
                                                                       of nerve
                                                            — no butterflies,
                                                                 more of a mashing
                                                                            a constriction of the
                                                                                              ‘testines
                                                                           as though my heart
                                                                                         my apple
                                                                                         my core
                                                                                were gravity’d
                                                                                       to pit of me
                                                                                       in search
                                                                                       in pull, inward/guide
                                                                    &nbsp

when thinking

when thinking
        of falling
              star
   and finding
            plane
     lit for descent
           instead

the dream

the dream
   of you in floor of seat,
            having said you lost … something
             all in show of being level with me
                                              as i sit infront of her,
                                                    the one you brought
                                                                  in hopes to push me off …
                                just a little regret/
                                               a little action needed to reclaim me…
                                                            I am
                                                             already Yours, for
                                                                You are these eyes’ focus,
                                                                            she merely a distraction.

                             Shake your head in wave of me,
                                                       the secret call
                                                              of our sanctuary,
                                                                  this floor,
                                                                         our level,
                                                                                     we.

i fought a thousand thoughts before

i fought a thousand thoughts before letting these escape/captured a thousand hearts before you found mine to take

broke a million stars down to the spin of gravity/built a million minds to a sense of natural clarity

i followed my thoughts to a place i found safe only to drag my feet and wish nothing but change

smile

i stumbled over some ol words/the ones i never gave to you for fear they’d lead to something different/something else other than what we got now/not like this is the best there’s ever been, but damn if i’d give it up for anything/anything more than you/the idea of us/that prospect of bein yours as you’d be mine/can ya ‘magine that?/can ya ‘vision that?/the chance of gettin you when you gettin me/not carin cuz that’s the way it should be/me on you/you on me/doin it right like we ought to/make it good/make it better/make it the best/make it love like we should do/can ya picture that?/picture the eternity not as a length of time but as the moment we spend holdin’ one another/givin one another that look/that stare/that constant curiousity, the questions asked and answered but asked again for who cares for answers when the enigma’s so dynamic/so brilliant/god, i just wanna get to know you/the whole you/all of you/everything ’bout you/give you a chance to know me/the whole me/everything ’bout me/from my thoughts to my family/they belong t’ you if you belong t’ me/just tell me true and it’ll happen/you n me/me n you/the us we always wanted/the two/the one/the smile you’ve always to-me granted

the chipper woman

the chipper woman noises
                           presents her presence
                                              in effect of
                                                            goading acknowledgement

maturity is knowledge, not

maturity is knowledge, not of what one may do,
                               but of what one already does

whose eyes are wavey

whose eyes are wavey,
                      loading heavy my own

                                                                                                                           for speech or sight
                                                                                                                           lost on insecure sea,
                                                                                                                           while i, the floater,
                                                                                                                                   hope not ‘ be seen
                                                                                                                                   as, soon, i may
                                                                                                                                   hold
                                                                                                                                         toward movement
                                                                                                                                   from any spoiled
