I Cannot Be

I cannot be the thing that sets you free

Touch hands

Two so alike that it takes ten years

So in the furrows of the furthest earth

That hapless cornucopia on

Thanksgiving tables spill the beans.

Ah, the glory of being so right for each other,

No one should stand in the path.

No one should jump out as Halloween ghosts

To frighten them to run away.

You know thier story,

There are only so many stories of the journey,

Only so many dreams and coinsiding

Travel on your partner-ships and I

Will 

Fade

Humble in blankets

Buried

Burdens

And pancaked to butter pads

On the table

No longer frangrant 

From love making.

In the furrows of the furthest earth

So standing between time and space

Calling culling the exposure of

Vanishing distance.

It takes the pace.

It takes the pale.
