reciprocal-gaze

Palpable,
Emotional distance
Knitted a weight of self-evident fact
In that turbulence and urging crosscurrents
Plunging
into empathy in kinship

Disparate purities, like an existential plight
Creating and re-inventing
Each an own oeuvre

Far too vaporous to be pinned down

A buzzing haze, amidst the smugness of rainbow after the rain
Confessing anguish, baring fears…
As the only percipient

Like a visual artifice
The world is too much with us
Soon,
An uncanny, fragile vitality aglow
Manifesting that structure of thought

An ideal need’nt be coherent in his entrancing

This quirk of construction, contingents in our contingencies
Impersonating in the space of the mind

Again
The old Cartesian gulf between the body and the mind
Spitted a luciferous beam of light
flashing into a brittle mass
Reflected incandescence
A strata of unstable fragments
arrested by the friction of stability
