The Event of Our Freedom


Whole days waste their fuzzy unfocused lives
At the doorstep of your breezy nonchalance
Whole days languish in a sort of linear nostalgia
Tonight the shadow-shot air whispers snowily
Where shall I stand so as not to catch a chill
Tonight stars terrify me so do naked light bulbs
Listen! I can feel you flickering in my skull
A disqualified emotion neither a something
Nor a nothing you are a glacial fire dying out
I am talking about the invisible of the visible
About your moist lips parting for a word
Not about the desolation of ardor or the future
Of privation but about seeing your white teeth
Become blindingly indifferent when you smile
