in walking
and waking
in the taking of you
i found in you
the clamor of candor
and in you i found
you something you
could never find in you
can i find what
i found in you
in me
a birch feather frozen
to the ice in the
inches of ice
i find you in you
and not me in me
in the feet of the forest
i find juniper blue
and rest my head
on yellow cardinal feather
a thousand miles
on these soles
and not found yet
in me what i found in you
no matter how deep
the thrust of you into me
no matter what i feel
in the pit of gore
and slobbered intestine
we cannot connect
and spermicidal chemicals
remain my favorite evolution of man
