Witchery

We both found tenners 
at our own happy diversions-
mine on a jog, she 
with her boyfriend walking. 

She waves passing 
in her yellow mini 
the very moment she’s crossing 

my mind. Another jog
in this *** little town we both 
happily make do with. 
I’m thinking 

she could be my love,
(we think it fun pretending)
or just habitual friends, 
both bearing love 
for the labyrinthine. 

Because she speaks 
to the moon like I do, palms up 
to dark-embedded lightness,
opening 

doors to any rabbit holes 
we can find. The kind 
who relish mysteries 
of all sorts. And dancing

is to us more stimulating 
when it strikes the viewer 
as strange, like doing it 
while jogging. 

Our voices in union speak
as if magic or simulation,
together released from needs 
to decode all the curious messages 
about releasing.
