This tension between us
in us
in you in me
involves us
hand ringing
ear saying
eye doing
englot us
injoined
holey communion
fitting, apt
add apted
it never went off
felt ooh
fell to divergence
(yes, again virgins)

with the ghastly flicker of the frozen image
with a gluttonous eternity's tape loop
with the drastic stead of the moment's gape

drama of none
unaccountable parting
takes shape
wrests
no first time was ever like the next

( à L.V.)
