two one none

electric stairs

to a pond of heat

crawl up double close and

breathe, breathe. i

inhale, inhale,

flip on, slide through 

so, how long did it take us to meet?
four lifetimes.  maybe three. 

you say in my eyes
you remembered to breathe

and memories braid the

literal, the figurative.

meanings of

two, one, 

none.
 

sacred too

she
glass shell, put to his ear, 

hear smoke whisper samba inside,

come move.

wide sea, carry on carry back,
hear snare drums and surdos inside,

come move.

so sway. quarter beat.

play she lips and he lips

so sway.  quarter beat
pull she to he hips

afternoons slow, the telephone left

on the desk
