intimacy
Intimacy Cryptogram

Some days end, one long day followed me and ended years later at your feet, intimacy is a note I cannot understand, it usually doesn't come from touch,

I created intimacy with the lines of sand on the beach, and where did they go off to, after?

I made intimacy within the rhythms of your voice, often when you said the same word again and I let it stay there in the middle of the air without touch,

We locked ourselves in a glass room and you turned away from me and played the piano,

there is the question of what I did,

if I daydreamed,

or shifted in the chair.



Scaffolders

Scaffolders outside the building
smoke from 10 cigarettes
they build a city they understand,
I'm the one who doesn't.
what is the signal to begin?

In the morning we fly out of nearby windows,
brick homes along the street
I write about things I don't understand,
the things I do I stay quiet about.


I was raised by
a man standing on the street in the early morning
he's waiting for the truck to come
watching out for nothing.
