We are breathing together

Some queer thirst for your
name inspires your initials on a passing car;
your impression in place maps
and miscellaneous unintended elements
through town;
I tried to extricate every bit of you
but the very word itself,
a careless incantation and then a sharp
breath,
always in a car,
alone, driving
and your name calls me.

I am faced with an internal and also
transpersonal journey, wandering between a
wish to banish my foolishness from my waking
wanderings and never to have any more
from you,
and “I have,” I say,
though a third element in our conspirations
directs a walking tour of my museum-heart's
permanent collections

unwelcome, unbidden, and
ordained.

Hey,

I don't know how this will appear, but I'm hoping it's something I can' use to talk to you before you post a comment. I realize it can be a bit of a turn off to have your comments submitted for moderation and not posted immediately. I post every comment I get, I just want to know that I've gotten one. So I'm not as controlling as it may seem. So tell me what you think! Thank you.
