Before the anticipated reunion

Before the anticipated reunion

Before the anticipated reunion
what is this affair
between
your eyes
your lips
and i

as enamored features
now placated
practical flowers
organized hazel
hindered and harnessed
as co-conspirators
of your private drudgery

this art of introducing
some image of you
the invocation of solitude
the eye of a shell-fish

the room stands
us across from one-
another
a coiled husk, fingerprints
on desks and doorknobs
faint proof of your
tangible engagement
in an else-where of
microwaved phones
and talk-show morality
remote controlled
