silver lake snippets

emanating from your lips
I take the long way home
those summer evenings
by the lotto playing men
lit up in the bodega windows
like a ninety degree christmas
----------
if i curl up close to you
     will you   e n v e l o p e
                     me?

Will I slowly mesh into you
     so that I am a part
  and you cannot let me go


   for how can you distance
      your fingers? your arms?
        your toes?
  ------------

easy easy easy

it all seems so easy

when you take it away from

all the whispers and all

the eyes that don't care 

                                                               about             

if we can exist alone

we can exist together

if we can exist a part

we can exist within

coalesce

coexist

conform
