OUR OTHER HEMISPHERES.

if I could dust the salt

right off your lips,

i would, just watch me.


If I could poison

your exact location,

it would be

my favorite vacation.


If I could reach right through

your living room,

slide against you,

close enough to measure,

it would be our pleasure.


If I had a way out,

if I had the sand,

to find the phantoms

of your hands.


we would have a word for free,

and it would be chemistry.


if i could

i would-

if we could

we almost certainly would.


pity for us,

the heavens have conspired.

the stars laugh to tears,

at our other hemispheres.


(and when you say 'wait',

you mean 'come now'-


when I say 'meet me here'

I mean 'show me how.')
