call waiting

Call waiting

Stranger;
Anticipate
Pacing
Double tracks in a brain,
Each step
Closer,
Further
From an end,
And the phone is still.

Another path
Winding road
It mounts
And insides
Swell with the
Juice of a sour inadequacy,
And the phone is still.

Feeling simmer,
Whispering bubbles
Susserant
Up and up
Up and up
And the phone is still.

Air presses heavy
Dull pressure drones
Silence bursts
Blood pumps
Undulating,
And the phone is still.

Placating glances
Importunate fever,
Pathetic voodoos
Impotent chants,
Ring dammit ring,
And the phone is still.

upon a ring

Upon a ring

Eternity,
Pure and shiny
Lunar on liquid
Smooth and warmed by my heat
Reflection deep,
Hematite beauty
Tight on my finger
It leaves its mark,
Like you.
