I

without san andreas
shivering in the background
an etna candle shaping clouds
we might forget

not even tethered to granite
are we solid, no account for
options on a paper thin
slice of life

so what did we expect?

II

be it oceans seeping in
to drown careless valleys
or blood leaked from seams
for bursting too slow

everything falls apart
into familiar shapes

will you be Africa this time
and have your limbs torn
or will you be Antarctica
and drift into winter?

III

unity bred homogenic trifles
but never a strong enough foundation
to withstand the currents

linked by rock
but not enough to weather
we’ve headed for polyphony

but still
with homogenic trifles

IV

after all those years
i'm still curved
to spoon you

•) wonderful

take the plates

stacked as broken china

in all your yearny yens

porceline betrays its faults

under glaze of time

so conversation drifts

from back to forth

while we wait for seconds

sharing our bits of little bites

savoring this serving

and looking forward to the next.
