14 Ways to Connect Hearts (a selection)

____3.
Cease motion
Trespass with me beyond the limits of movement
The gears stop
us, in our own bodies, suspended:
my eye drinks you
(and beauty, as a cloud, drifts and flies above a world of stillness)



____4.
We hug,
____and my nose is half in your ear
____and your hair and scent is everywhere
____and we’re tied to each other like scarves around necks.
____And for a moment i can’t breathe with my own heart…
________and so use yours.



____6.
death separates bodies,
we hold hands and wait (to see).
you give me a prayer-book
“this way we can hold hands… after


____10.
night comes and scatters
shadows
stars
car headlights

____“you have to go?”
________nod.
____“come back soon.”



____13.
Autumn; red and blue:
with its fresh air,
pulsed footsteps:
____cut in half,
____half for each:

____starts for one,
____ends for the other.



____14.
the straightest line,
still just a miniscule fragment
of a larger circle.
all trajectories bend-
one into the other.

____QED
