Before the anticipated reunion
Before the anticipated reunion
as enamored features
this art of introducing
the room stands
by David Goyette
what is this affair
between
your eyes
your lips
and i
now placated
practical flowers
organized hazel
hindered and harnessed
as co-conspirators
of your private drudgery
some image of you
the invocation of solitude
the eye of a shell-fish
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
