part I

Sometimes the room shakes
as the bed did shake
underlove
Sometimes
there's this
earthquake.

part II

As if at midnight
a socket
was plunged in the wall
and eyes sprang open.


part III

Whenever I speak
out of turn, is it?
you press your fingers
against my mouth
"Listen"

I hear only your heartbeat.

part IV

My tongue
is too long
my kiss
too short
inadequate I shrink
from perfection.

part V

Yet charged -
your beauty charges me:

the receptor trembles

quivering water
under the smite
of sunlight

part VI

The telephone
hangs on the wall
always available
for transmitting messages:

why is it
to lift the receiver
is to push the weight
of a mountain?

part VII

Between the impulse to speak
and the speaking
storms crackle.

Forgive us our

distances.
