From Afar
Looking across
the horizon line,
I see an odalisque.
Her shape
and nape
and cape
at rest
her sense of timing
very best
the lack of motion
in her gate
the open question
still to sate
will this be
my non-novate,
her newness now
forever new?
Into her eyes
my lost disguise
my feelings
oh and bold,
across the scene
to smithereens
are broken every mold.

Stale is usually another way of saying distant..the closer you get the more that fragrance re-emerges....at the point of moist contact it is a full blown hurricane when done right....far is a state of mind, a perspective....and in the right light of prismatic introspection and non-judgmentalism, far is as far as the tip of your tongue......G.

Thank you, Amanecio. I just can't escape the gravitational pull of Keats sometimes, so of course I have echoed his lines here from Ode on a Grecian Urn..credit where credit is due....He was less than half my age when he died and I just have to wonder, what did we lose?
Non-novate here represents that sense that what we have in front of us is a moving target, the quantum truth of the foundational truth of being is that it is not stable and is always transforming and that next image or rotation or translation has me seduced into peering into the future as I hope for further disclosures and event horizons of revealed intimacy. I just want it so bad that I am mad for it, insatiable and desiring..using up my life force in pursuit of knowing another absolutely and will have nothing less.
