obverse and reverse
yielding defiant clearance
to accidental confluence.
so swiftly a sequence of space
can jolt us into
the mathematics of fragmentary creatures.
as futile as a quest for the withheld,
to think that I could candidly touch
the ironic abyss
between our fleeting diametric pulse rates,
where we begin our untenable exemption -
consenters to a short life
of inane deconstruction,
idle, forgetful actors,
volatile assailants.
the charge of our skin warmth,
my most privileged of foes,
what incoherent coherence.
