Vertices

I
keep 
you in this
triangle with me –
it is a closed figure, true.
And why not a circle? Here, we can 
find our place in all things & meet at vertices ~ 
or retreat to our own side and look
across forever into each others’
eyes. We can know a true
beginning place. Then
know an ending.
And it will
be ex
act.

  3. Have to agree with a.q.s. And I LOVE how you split ex/act. Brilliant.

    Can you check out my work? I'd really love feedback from you because you're one of the most thoughtful and perceptive bloggers/writers/poets I've encountered on blogspot.com

  5. Thanks for letting me find you through the twitter. These are excellent poems. Nice use of the triangle in the one above, and Boy Hiding is full of all those things so hard to say in prose. Enjoyed it all.
