Untitled #37


You are untitled.
That is not to say
the same as not
known
      (yes, it is,
      does);
where will you go
to resolve me?

I have the bluest
eye yes you have
ever seen – which
is not to say
that I am looking
at you; let me
love you in
my own sentenced
parse, which is not
to say,
I love you.

Shallow walk on hollowed
ground, this grace of 
undeciduous meaning:
where word both 
      (does and ___ not)
tenses to mean and
empty meaning
of tense.
What past to empty same
in presence?
By which I do not mean
what I mean to say.
Or, so it
sounds.

We will
have walks
together, to gather,
      (whom
ever ____ may be);
there are willows to find
to weep for
and under and
with; a sob at
language’s cruel muse,
no can-ow tree, or do-ow, only
the will-ow, the constant
tense of then and more
if than not.

Let this breath together
be enough for now, let the
accidental touch of a foot
on the path be enough for
      (occurs as happens,
      call it chance)
now:  we walk, we walk,
and I do not look
at your known (not)
known untitled 
gait.
