I am not
the stranger
it is you
sending
from your island
perplexity
in a bottle
but, hey–
it’s New year’s,
so I’m popping
corks today
look what’s in the eddy
of the everyday
it makes you wonder
at the wonder

Re: To: Re: JG
half-formed
i lie
feeding on you
r words
the island changing shape each moment
my everyday
screened from yours
by a transparant stretch
of skin
…
or maybe
there is no island
you are not alone
yes
a new year
a division sketched to celebrate
tense

Re: To: Re: To: xstense
my, my–
you are up
before the sun
stirring
into your cup of tea
milk
sugar
poetry
but here goodnight
to your goodmorning
maybe find
the other half of your
halfless form–
I’m tired now.
sorry.
less than even half
a halfless form
