U & i

                                                   U & i


How did this begin
With twist and spin and nights
Counted and countless
Pounced
And pounceless
Blemished
Like boyhood cheeks
Fathomless
Like girlhood eyes
Scented with rosewater
Stinking of over-scent
Reaching for dreams
Wrapped in plastic
Achieving things
Wispy as lake mist
In mid-spring dawns
Melting like salted snow
Refreezing in new forms
Unrecognizable
Roused from daydreaming
Blistered by fantasy
Touching a cold pillow
Wedged in a double-bed frame

Gone
Gone
Where have I gone
