By the privy entries of the eare,
words sappe downe
into the heart, and,
with gunshotte of affection,
gaule the mind,
where reason and virtue
should rule the roste.
Immediately so
and so as palm to palm
do our kind contracts kiss.
Immediately to
intergraft in such soft contacts,
tact to tact
skinful of our fuss
of warm brushed haptic.
Immediately by
hap to hap contracted
to our eyes’ kiss.
Unmediate.
If I could lap myself
up tight so tight to
you, we (you and I)
could crush out and.
If I could lap us
would crush out
first person
personal.
If lap us
tight we
crush.
Need no postman for
each hap riposte; need
no interim parcel
force; need no parole patrol;
no punctuating drum;
nor nurse; nor Friar Peter;
need no re-prefix as we fine flex
ply taut cord petition, storing places
membering port to post
signed to it. Turn and turned again,
bound to the turn and turn.
Nobody interfering, over here.
To touch: to move or grieve; to
come; to deceive;
to quip; to taunt; to take up; to
write; to speak,
To be sent back
I step back
make room back up
push space to stare
slot intervals interim
a mediating as we
throw out into a busy medium.
The bounce between us
links out lovely chain
causal interactions hot
on heels, lagging cause to
overlapped event, coat over coat
laid out and over. Without the
gap, perhaps we can’t
get intimate.
You snap distinct only
on the far side of
a mediating tumble.
And are the ethics of adoration that
I stand far back enough to stare?
Listening intently behind the closed door
to you to you as you.
