Restrictions: None
the unsurrounding feeling
you don't whisper to me anymore --
voice soft,
words collecting on pillows surrounding
my head

you don't hint to me anymore
like the winds
penetrating windows surrounding
my bed

I lingered to listen,
often closed my eyes to dream you;
but time softly
entered the room --

like gray clouds shadowing
dry, pale skin longing
wet kisses of your youth
to refill this container

bound for an oven.
will my teeth rattle
in the shaken urn?
will peace come on some mantel?


1.20.21
revised 2.8.21

even if i contain you in stanzas, you escape to join fleeting words added in other gatherings.(about structure never performing perfectly)

6.20.21 edit (Is it? About that?)
