Cartomancy
where is the tandem bicycle you imagined
the double kayak, the larger than life size tent
driving cross country is not an option, nor
should it ever have been pipe dreams
fill comfort zones with incense smoke
after a year it becomes stuffy, unbreathable
with cards laid out on the kitchen table
two of cups, the tower, the hermit, the
nine of coins, phrased to clear the air
and allow for the use of twin beds
in antiseptic motel rooms along the way
I drop the road map on the high way

Clumsy Sharks
that cryptic lyric was light years away
and simultaneously lost in our deep pockets
we swam in two different directions
planets connected and held apart
with light magnetism and serious gravity

She Wanted To Swim Again
a swimsuit lost through reverse osmosis
it permeates the thinnest membrane
in the emotional laboratory

The Green “Hello” From a Distant Galaxy
it was the same galaxy you inhabited
your postcards made it as far as
Tabby’s Star, the Horsehead Nebula
but I zigzagged like a stray asteroid
and ended up on different planets
visible with a telescope pointed
in the correct direction
