The mist settles like lamb's wool on the lake 
As I wait for the coffee to brew
My thoughts drift to the basement's chill
There's something precious
In creating with you
This fringe space inside us, outside of us
Spread out in mind
A refectory table set for dinner

With double pulses
As we gather our poison darts in hand
And set it d o w n

The gleam of metal sighing into a windchime
Chain
Willing the other to go first…
Held in,
Chopin's Nocturne no. 1
I close my eyes, floating
