Always Drifting Into New Towns

And So We Meet
This photo reminds me
of the meeting moment
the eager "hellos"
both objects
two dimensional
the lantern
unlit
the body
non-moving
both have stories
to share
but in this moment
they go untold.

I have left two homes
to make a third
and it makes
me feel like a whore
sleeping in
so many beds
to get to this
one small bed
underground
this room, my coffin.

the lantern
is misplaced
not hanging
with all the rest
the misfit
lantern
not able
to sway on the
line
removed
removed
removed
but it tilts
earnest
in my direction.

this photo reminds me
that we are both
homeless,
but not unhappy
to take a second
for the meeting-moment
all space
remains
semi-recreate-able.
