escaping boundaries
how do you achieve that choice?
go and dance alone in the cool darkness
and somehow still feel the heat
of ash
all those untaken sparks
love in a single moment
and never love again
shooting stars on a distant horizon
feel the music and never feel your feet
night life of mine
sweet, moist-soft
moving in neon when lost
everywhere is familiar and yet extraterritorial
it is an ancient myth that everything is measurable
they tell you, that one can measure the miles to the moon
it depends on when you measure
at perigee or at apogee
you can measure all that if you like
but you cannot measure the heart of the traveler
being perceptive is immense
not at a loss for words
but being visible to the invisible,
trading the speed of sound for the speed of light
losing the virtual,
finding the essential
being forgotten and still unchanged,
it is just the same the names remain
crossing over to realize something found can be lost again
the search for beauty is no casual thing
at the edge of needed survival
beauty is still sought
it is an articulation of ourselves
with or without compass remember it just another border
beauty can be anything
the hunger of skin
shivering, rippling
two lover's backs arching
it is all for the gathering and then the receiving
