The Skill Of Becoming (incomplete)

by Carlyle Miller - Aquarius

She-
becomes me
cell by cell
I feel every angle of her face-
almost as if I'm a blind man
preparing to see her
even in the dark
We pondered
then ignored
every little inconvience between us-
saved every blissful agony
for what was to come
inevitably this was our speed-
the direct velocity of our love
How can such a thing be calculated or
satisfied in some mystical equation?
There is skill-
there has to be
for this mystery to occur
for it to continue along these same lines
for so long...

and still not complete

Reason for writing:

    I just dug this up the other day-but it's not yet complete.  I guess I have to work on it.
