Like cleaning waves of water
with the same: entering

a feeling into a room of feeling.
Admitting to love with

a finite mouth. I want to ask
partnership with all things:

that I should have what is true
before me, that I should see

what I need. Nothing
washes life from itself.

We chase these thoughts until
they go clear, make circles

with sponge on glaze, sense
lather unbinding both

our hands: enter again
the running stream.
