I correspond solely to the shell of you

with vague glimples of sand

kept in you to mature, given.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,

I am in-waiting.

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,

It doesn't surprise you, the sundering

The unspoken rule of separation

we co-authored against the illusion

of closeness

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,

Clearly mistaken,

I hope for the Minotaur's escape, crumbs

and granules that may lead me

to the unlit guts of you

.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,,

Walnut and mint green chairs,

you populate my tangled dreams

with changing versions of your persona.

Be fearless, lost on immense shores,

for —adventurer— I forever come to pick you.
