To be as far

I want to be tangled
I want to belong to someone
I want to walk through
as far as I can go to
I want to be in the air
and in the walls and in the sheets
I am breathing in fumes
I am lost in the manic-streets
I am walking slow motion
I am lost in my own space
I want to live in the hills&fields&flowers
I want to be an earth-child
to be lilywhitepinkdawnmorning
I want to be arriving soon
I want to be allowed inside
I want to be associated-with comfort
and ease-release-protected
I want to be tightarms and close
I want to be as far as I can go to
as far as I can go

Unknown Habit

I dreamt of you last night
though I have not heard your voice in two years
we were tangled like a habit
I tasted your mouth, familiar as breathing
you forgave me for making you trivial
and I held you without regret
your translucent eyes and eloquent tongue
I held your young body without expectation
and you released me with quiet certainty
