space
by Emily Davidsonis there a word
for a man
who likes everything better
at a distance?
perhaps it's every man
chasing a woman who's
shiny and new
gleaming with secrets
only worthwhile in their reticence
danger zones:
the dirt
beneath the fingernails,
words only spoken
in the dark,
a tear-stained kiss
to them
closeness cancels curiosity
and nothing is anything
without space
