Way Out
For example I could live on another planet
but nursing would suffer
& the milking blister on your top lip
would deflate
harder to begin again with a fresh perspective
Close up to you
I can’t find a way out of your gaze
brown universe where all colour visiting
decides to stay becoming
some of your spectral
vision
That for now sums me up my usual
in-your-face attitude on your way back from sleep
be assured I’m there again
milking you awake
& gazing
no way out of me
though you may wish it someday
