Replacing god with love
Or your names
All interchangeable
Like a handful of cork
Thrown into the ocean
or Nealon's dolphins
So many as to become like rats
Air conditioners swallowing brick
Brick swallowing tree
Tree swallowing swallow
It's enough
More might lead to character flaw
or flawlessness
With flawlessness being the butt end of one balancing rifle
And love being attached to the other
in the shape of a muzzle sight
Blind justice adding a pinch of cinnamon
Heating up a cotton ball soaked in alcohol
Or maybe dredging flour
Flour coating object of desire
Object of desire coating stomach
Stomach turned inside out coating coat
What we talk about
When we talk about Raymond
Some obscure finding
Some unfinished conversation
A very adult perspective
that includes sadness and impotence
in certain situations
A waiting and wailing in the wanting
A crust of bread thrown at the ones to be loved
To be loved wholeheartedly
The whole heart steering motives
Motives steering head on into distraction
Distraction not noticing the steering straight into steer
Some empty field where love might be found
Some broken fence from that one time
Some skid marks that will always remain as lumpy grazing
In some empty sky
Once flooded with movement
All streaky and abuzz
Some preparations to travel
Into some unknown realms
Might need protection
Only love can garner
