My blood is your poems, how they make love. That’s why
I’m close to invisible as a companion, not of this sexual province.
One by one. Everyone else smiling. A sober intro ..
We’re having a fit with anxiety. Everyone a worker-sleeper.
Then I remember there’s exigency in our good fortune.
Not like feeling mortal, all to the good!
Well, a few drinks later the silver range blows up! We’re
engaged about engaging —
part of the work week.
