- Don't try to draw
anything sensible from my lips -

It simply is there when yesterday it was not

- The tiny couch
barely holds one, but we can manage
he smiles his stoner-smile
as I try to catch my breath -

Magic springs from the fingertips of two
who unlock what is forbidden

- He's already better at the not missing thing than I am -

Leap without the fear of falling
As precarious as two acrobats
dancing high without a net

- Please come back
and kiss me now
I have been warned
against myself -

Meander though the places where

- when you are far and he seems near -

the dark arts still hold sway
A tattooed contortionist
folds herself into a glass box

- There he goes again -
