Much Ado About Everything


Let us slip in, secret-letter-like
until leg touches leg
time passes but not through us
our predictable discontinuities merge, unbidden
we hold, like a promise
a breath hardly taken
inhaled in small increments
time holds not its own duration
but all there is

and you
let me muffle your first yawn
without any further ado
I am hungry
don’t protest
it is my imperative this morning
a poetic catharsis and primal pleasure

there is no music
only murky morning light
syncopated by random fits of my breath
I am chaos
but intent
on a riotous unhinging
a bowdy defrocking
of anything resembling propriety

the moment you divine
spills me from the edges
and with much ado
we gather in a sumptuous dissolving
