their marriage: phase 2
they sleep early
and wake up early
the splendor of odor
the magic of skin all gone
back to back with time
they have nothing to share
except their promise
to complete the journey of marriage
sailing on mutual affections of pity
and sympathy less the excitement
silence holding on to silence
love shrinking to its essence
understanding digs deeper
to souls intertwined longing
for that final resting place
the same God as their witness.

another venue
with other confines....stabilities...ornamentation....
a place of grassland sleep...
a whisper not
of that roped and tied and trampled
ground
up by the bibliotechnical arcade.....
.which petals are intact..
.which branches burn.....
is it a land of sympathy, then....swollen with plumeria and rushing cataracts...
......a torn page and a jotted evensong......?
delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

how does on touch really and where?
empathy does not have hands.
neither does sympathy
have lips.
the touch contemplated is not the kind
that gives the birth of conflict
or scandal that which is based
on malice
or molestation of the innocent bleeder
or the soul that walks on the ship's corridor
screaming
for help,
you ask how do you do the touch
and where
the gentle tap on the shoulder
the handshake
the soothing words of comfort
and condolences
like a shower of rain to the
roses that have not felt the water
for weeks
straight from your heart
right in my heart.
