Imprint
You are the cosmic accident in my life
the flung mashed potato meteor that stuck
a kitchen table of meals and slopped margarita prep.

You are a flush dealt mocking attempts
at poker faced subsistence.

You are the closest to me when i think i've escaped
these pulls of salty bones and trinkets,
when i have wiggled free from the woolen smell of our Afghan
and pesky crumbs from the checked couch.
I am always gobbling the breadcrumb trail out.

This and more i am almost ready to tell you
that i will not
sever your gravity or my lies
my claims of flight.

No. You are a home
of sorts.
without place and unaffected by happenstance
that follows

Closest to me when i believe i need you
Not.
