SECRETS AND STAR DUST

Folder: 
JOURNAL#10

I must admit I'm quite pathetic anymore these days

a mere shadow of myself one might even say

though I do what I want no matter how very little that is

and listen to nothing anyone says

an affectionate affliction of over inspired lust

a real closet cleaner getting at the cracks of all the

ancient dust

no one has ever recited to me even once before

the miracle of silence that is except you

how very odd that we can touch upon subjects often so

awfully sad and sore

like that is the easiest point from which to start what

it is which we do

recommunicate our need to one another on a level in which

we each can understand

by taking this soured uncertainty which we loosely call a

relationship well in hand

by missing not so much the boat but the tripping of

its anchor

put your hand in mine as together we attempt to

touch land.............
