just so
the tilt of a
shoulder,

the lilt of a voice


just so, the run of a drop
down the convex column

of your cup


how can
two eyes become
focused


how can a pair
of ears
orient an entire dance
?


how can she please you --
you, never looking away
behind, before, away
and back

aghast.


please,
do not approach me --
your coat against the wall, or
over the back of my chair


(all the fractions of substance
and never a palpable

being here)



I like it! 1 C!
