I feel like I left a
part of me spiritually in your compact touch-up mirror. In a streak on the glass that keeps looking at
you in pull-out-a-handbag way I wish I could retrieve back into my consciousness
to sever from viewing whoever you are looking at me in that self-reflective space
and return into the sky blue. I know
logically I am looking into myself; I see an image distorted by waves of time
in the maze in my head. It makes me
ponder spiritual elements, my internal instruments, of what I
experienced with you in our brief time together than has left me changed.
I looked at you hard
in those weeks. The effort to do so was
there, but the magnitude of what naturally shined out of you fissured some
aspect of me like debris in a hurricane.
There is that part of me smeared like a scratched etch that has seen you in every woman I have met since, quotidian parade
floats, and moments that speak to me as the universe arches its back. I debate whether I see what I want to see,
rewording nothingness into something-ness.
I am guided more by
the cycles of the moon, the confluence of time’s dance than logic to try to be
in the now. That is how I make most of
my daily decisions to see what the universe makes available and flow with the
current rather than swim upstream.
I am in a place of love or fear. Fear is like an idle car in a driveway
flooring the gas pedal in park. Love is
putting our self in drive. It is near
impossible for me to visualize movement in any dimension of that idea of
whatever was created between us
In my inner quiet I
know I am a romantic, I have dreamed in my life that if I were to be taking my
last series of breaths reviewing my regrets and treasures nothing
would mean or cost me more in its absence than experiencing true intimacy
through the layers of love that made me feel the universe melding with what
life really is. Life has taught me love raw. Some people get passive
placid surface fit in the box, maybe in cohabitation, matrimony, predictability,
most not.
