Woven

Hay doods. I haven't been keeping this up lately due to a lack of alone time. But here is a poem about George and Emily in the play Our Town.




We are woven, you and I
and have been
since earliest uninvited dreams
of:
Who is this unmasked familiar?
Hold me. Keep me.
Spin me up, I will not struggle.
I long for timorous, tangled limbs
and secret somewheres.
I long for you.

The faraway calls but I can't hear
for my ear is angled obliviously to
slurp the sweet nectar pouring from your lips.

The faraway calls but I don't care
for We
are woven, you and I,
unbreakably

Together.

Big booty, numbah three!
Numbah three, big booty.

  1. I've heard of "Our Town" but don't know anything about it. You've made me wiki it.

    This is loverly, even that slurping ear which ought to be disturbing.
