Poem: "God your reader"

*

Writers are guarded --
it's for humans
they write -- but imagine they had
a different audience

irony would be pointless --
if you were upset
as a person is
you would say it

no need to look around
for a peer
to approve -- none to be found
or needed anymore.

You would just write what's already known
to this one you've never known.

Poem: "The hypostasis"

Our being
was that place in the road
where one unknown thing
and another met and bled.

They were neither
one
nor were
quite two nor two's fusion.

They were separate
and yet the place
where we met
became a thing and was

and our way was a road
inside our hearts but outside.
