You disrobe the windows of
my bedroom from within,
sit there on my sheets, your
feet crossed beneath you
,absorbing the unseasonable warmth

You are the pads of
your fingertips,firm to the glass
then sit back and laugh

thanks all.

true west's dialogue is really just really great.

also, he's playing with the idea of an enclosed and contained system. related to that idea, the things a viewer or reader implies about what's happening beyond the immediate events which unfold outside of the kitchen nook.

also, family dynamics have a really great pull for me

Microscopic copper falling
From the sky in photon rain-drops
Your eyes— full of thought
There re-flected in the patio-table glass
And asked the air to stay so
Though you knew time to pass
And with it You and I
Eyes fixed ahead
In heads— to grassy back-lots
Where one cat in black fur
And snowy white second
As myopic moving dots
Did circle and depart
