dies irae, rex tremendae ...

[j_blah]

I made a new friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

always across the room
hands dirtied in busy-ness

i was standing back and watching
and you were standing back and watching

busy-busy-still

not standing still
not even for a moment

later there happened a moment small and fragile
arrogantly ? i think not
seizing those few ounces

no tip-toeing
diving in
wiggling free of my suits and removing garments from hangers
(that one lies on the sidewalk now)

and i'm here, bared,

bearing

scoop me up, i dare you!!
