I.M.

Listening to WKZE tonight
my window faces the south
aphrodite & athena within me both want the line
entirely the wrong direction, facing north, but it was the idea that had to count because to extend my hand westward towards you was only to immediately come up against the cool, hard wall and the spell would be - and for a moment was - broken. So I suspended my hand in the air, moved my fingers gently, and thought of you. And I kissed you.
