roads
return
low rumbles, coughing engine
floating on sunless seas
your face in the window
pavement screeching, like her (your) name
my unabashedness, in your thoughts in my thoughts
eyes in the mirrors. sorry, they say. look back look up look back down
please think about it think about what i'm feeling
they take her gaze in their hands, break it break her. they leave
floatsam drifters, you keep them in your mouth held in your mouth
thoughts, forgotten. forget to forget them
unfolding in her mind a room, different from yours
speak! you tell her. her mouth opens. speak!
looking ahead you observe the horizon's slumber
opens her hand hand it to your hand
keep it with you, put it in your pocket
stopped, you step out into quiet
(into the deep___) throw the stones the throw
into thickness thickness of your walled city
in the cloisters her absence makes itself present
they are searching for you
echoes through the arcade
come from a()far are the great mosques
archways of your body
watching the minaret which calls you
find me, she asks you to find me she asks.
look for me in the tapestries in the manuscripts
she watches you pass by her. the night ages you
the lull of the wheels like static
follow her ley lines her myths
keep your mind to yourself
