The Reluctant Lover

Columbus wasn’t looking for America.

Nor I for you.


The world belongs to jesters and dancing bears.

So jest. Dance.


This game of blindfold chess

Is the only vocation I can manage.


A tricky fugler, I lime the branches of my mind

To see what I might catch.


Your face in the crowd I could never mistake;

I can feel your eyes a mile away;

And it pulls, the current, it pulls me under.

Drowning seems like fun.


We shall go on like this, until we can go on

No longer.
