You slowly begin to consider your relative positions.
The meaning of the alert in your email inbox begins to change.
In fragments, Life begins to replace Art in your discussions, just as you begin to bring what you've learned through Art into your life: all the melodramas, wishes, and conflicts. You learn each others' addresses, voices, and the space between you, in distance, in age, and in philosophy, becomes activated.

frost without the fall
this ordered sky, a mockery of patience
a filter to fill
all colour, all sense fled
oh the sky is dead
a perfect amber for us

edgeless crystal
unbroken yet insubstant
pallid, a shell

a mess of demons caught within

sunk halfway down
a buoyancy that's not much help
shadowless, ungrounded

purposelessness boring into our minds
a light all good offices seek to emulate

I wish
being a lesbian were like
being left-handed.
Whenever someone notices
you writing a cheque
or doodling
or opening a door
And they exclaim:
"You're left-handed?"
I wish it were as simple as that.
When it's funny
and I laugh, panicking.
Such stuff punchlines are made on,
that such a casual,
integral,
part of myself
has the spotlight shone on it,
And revealed (they think)
their own ignorance,
(How wonderful it is to enlighten someone
by being.)
And yet I never hear the questions
that logically spring to mind:
"Won't you have trouble with the gearshift
on a car?"
"How do you use scissors?"
"Can you even write

(The nice thing about the singer-songwriter is that s/he can fit any number of words in the same regular pattern.)
It's funny how it strikes
In the banality of working late at night
When I keep putting off this and forgetting that
And I just can't get my back straight
It's that time
When you wouldn't expect to get a drop of poetry out of me
And with glazed eyes I almost mistake
This in front of me for something to hand in tomorrow
It's that time, and I miss you
Feeling hope that's the flip side of fear
And I hope that I'll see you soon
And I won't let you down like before
I could just possibly
Be happy
As the summer dawns
So I need to wound and stress
This proxy
Transgress
Don't want everyone else to be asleep
Don't want freedom in my own house
Scrap:
when night slams the door
isolation abounds
and proprietry flashes itself
as searchlights are cut off
the underside of the bed
deposits new knowledge
on the disturbed floor
inverted waters tremble
There's several things I would like to post: some poems and some scans. They need polishing - but above is something raw, made up on the spot. Doesn't mean it's good, of course.
