It is true we undo each other

Our rooms decorate us
It is true
You brought with you an aspiration for the silver screen
Stowed delicately in your silver purse
Stringed
And loping
You travel a direction
Fated to be multiple


A Californian for a girl slung a carefree arm through mine on one of the first warm spring days. A true warmth, the kind that makes you want to kayak. At that point I had no superstitions about writing about the past, and a lack of interest in prophetic lines. Immediacy, orgasm, drugs, that life precedes my lateness. The Californian (she) didn’t pretend or flinch. She drank a canned beverage as she made offers. I conceded to her strange ways in all modes except sexual. A romance bloomed between us through winters and springs. I wonder if my two Californian friendships benefit from the coastal time difference. The 2 times. Now, she maps her route with regard to water and wisdom. I strive to become a better listener. Less anxious, I think. We contact each other from time to time.
