i strip away the poetic glaze
and enter you   in the face
                      (the way i see it
                       if our separate eyes
                       ever were
                       to colossally collide)

i know that lightrays
may be chased
                     to a quiet place
                                                     2000 miles away
so i will be the ray
of moonbitten light
balletting my toes
across the roads
of long long nose

as you sleepily close
your two drooping doors
that lead to those green
                         caves of yours

knowing that
within them lies
         an igloo of insights
         in a slumber of stars
                            with a drizzle built by
                            love-shaped warmth
                  bridging backwards
                  into the marvel of night
         striving to soul-climb
         with lover right beside
dozing downwards
into childhood flight



will i glow
smooth enough
to flow
straight inside?

to pass through
the crevice
between
those locked lids
of your eyes?

will my feet
be steeped deep
into your heaping
dreams?


             because distance is
                          evaded
              only so many times

                          and sleep will be
                          the only key
                          to unlock the cottage
                          of tangibility
                                               
                                      where
                                              you are my only --
                                                                          Escape Velocity


now i shall leap
into shoulder-deep sleep
dreams will be new
and will be hoping
                 to coalesce with you.
