When Philosophy Makes No Sense
Could be there are many
false beginnings. Homemade
ice cream you dream of
eating but can't be bothered
to make. Kisses wet
and air-dried. Some things
we can't explain. I love
the hoopoe's dip and glide
dip and glide into
a landing and singing
songs in a language
I don't know. What
can it mean? The way
your hand moves up
my thigh raises several
questions that just have to wait.
