dream it

we were in austria
on the crest of something so high
and we looked out over mountain tops.
we saw:  our skirts were cascades

they were alps, and olympics.
there was a ma rainey sky
and those virgins' veils below.
snow and edelweiss and bitter cherry

and old streets i know.
brick, and black.  dream it.


time and maps blend, overlap.
we see the same things.
we feel the same way.

the act of removal

that letter post has been deleted by me. 



but on my mind is still the same:  what are the artifacts of love?  what do we abandon, when we fall in love, and what do we retain, when it all falls apart?  what is left.  when.  what evidence is there of any of it. 

and:  in that indescribable, in either fall, what do we gain. 

this was not an autobiography, or at least not one autobiography.  this was the expression of that humanhuman  twist--ever around the finest of dynamic rods running between the additive and subtractive; between the acts of robbing and giving.  between the acts of holding on, and simple unfastening.

and this post has been deleted.  by me.   it's still a story, if you can read it.
