clouds being taken by
car
to a lecture within me
fabled unease and
openness
to this new curious
abundance
adorn sober talk and
wander about
prosaic introductions
wearing a sudden height
and somewhat indolent
pleasure
she is recounting her
discovery inside my head
her arm her mouth
a replica of her mother
daughter, man, student,
friend, husband, woman, fiancée, fiancé, forty, sixteen, twenty-five, a week
too busy to think alone
a convincing reality
measured
by descending through
dense clouds
that hang in studied
indifference
notice that the barest
of atmosphere
was never grateful for
anything that
is a reflection of
contradictory
contradictions
disagree with each other
about everything
know a lot of
expectation
voyage through years of
secretly refused words:
charlatanry, illusion,
bullshit
Struggle with the
weakness of babies
the music of air
the sounds of a
moment alone
