turn and turn and my, but you are so graceful
i almost forget you’re not real
almost forget that you are me
that we are the same, figments of mind
spinning in the empty infinity
i love you best when you’re opposite
all duality and other and strange
husky voice upon my cheek
something i can believe in
until i remember
until you forget
i’ve named you a thousand times
you flicker and sway obligingly
my hands pass through
clenching with frustration
where are you
why can’t i feel you
then i look at the wall
laughing until i cry
