Circle Game
Is there a difference between being in a thoughtful mood and a reflective mood?
(On Physicalities
and Consciousness)
I, nursing speculations
chasing phantoms in the air,
but you are not a phantom.
I want to lock minds.
Stumble down the corridors of your
ideas
and the searching ache I feel in you
wells up to meet my own.
What is?
I need to know what you are
thinking.
Play my ideas against yours. Search
and feint.
If by chance I should happen
to meet
your heart
well,
I would like to share mine.
But hearts are heavy burdens
often bodies lighter. Confusion mine
I want them both
take one and move too fast here.
Cringe with fear of loss
your being so precious,
I anticipate retreat
What have I done?
I, nursing speculations
chasing phantoms in the air,
but you are not a phantom
and I tremble.
I wrote this poem when I was in my 20’s, now I am in my 40’s and it still applies. Will I ever learn?
