fasting

caught in thought

by a windowpane there is vapour, condensation.

in a daze she appears as unlikely, as an image.

within her is the postured form of the open-minded—

accessible is accessible is accessible.


overtime memory lapses and departs,

as one begins to study

another form of all-day hourglass musings—

timeless is timeless is timeless.


smoke rises from a flame

as a skein of birds take flight to arrow

beyond a patchwork of rolling hills.

somewhere over there is a kite

held in the hand of an only child.

eternal blue will always remain—

sky is sky is sky.


in the presence of a thoughtful nature

comes the spiral of her imagination

considerations get taken from outside of the disorderly—

unique is unique is unique.


boredom no longer feasts

on the bones of the disinterested

stuffed full by their own—individual indiscretions.   

how easy to be misunderstood

distraction is distraction is distraction.


once fed on the other

individualism introduces itself to expressionism.

a brush of willow like hair is stroked behind an ear

to kiss the subtle form of indentation—

essence is essence is essence.


every day absences

of age-old senseless indiscretions

become a neon glow of memory—rich as butter.

she is an omnipresence;

I am her dedicated voyeur.

heart is heart is heart.
