Intimacy or the Illusion Thereof
Elective affinity. Thank the wolf.
Raise Aphrodite from the deep with pulleys.
They went to the estate of Edward Had-Merits.
Herre's a gift of some gray hairs.
Your name day is named Wednesday for Wotan,
Your window in my forehead through which
You know beforehand what it is
Both of us want to say at any time.
When you see air or water there,
These are a code for silence.
A perfectly symmetrical square
Induces the river to flow our way.
When love fails, we draw a new map.
Take your mother off your neck and entrust her to me.
Leave her service to time while we walk outside.
Let chimpanzees marry for five days only.
We'd all like to go back to the villa of birth.
Having a man date with Heaven has it's sacrificial joys
Until death leaves you her short term memory collages.
We've removed everything.
Only a reverse palimpsest remains.
