Magnetic Divide

perfect plinking
covered cold
and worn

stay connected
stay connected

my reality
your reality
or theirs?

protected with
societal expressions
of perpetual
expecations...

my finger
your finger
covered cold
and worn.

so many miles
undivided
hope and strength
and home

hammering
hammering
the strings
of my soul

perfect plinking.
shedding
expectations

what do they want?
why do they
contact me?

they are not
my home

where is my home?
where is my heart?

lost to
the vapors
of sleep.

close your fears
dry your sighs
after rest
after rest

drift into the
sweet smile
of the man
I love

hold me still
let me sleep
and wake me
with a kiss

with a kiss
with a kiss
