head fake

if a wise friend tiptoes out 
like a melody leaves the mind 

break the ceiling with your pillowthighs 
and rain wine-

quick, grab a cup! 
you're thirsty like a liar 
drink your good luck! 

they wisely have shown you where 
to gamble your roots- 
and not on them! 

once again there's nothing ahead. 
don't look for the future
open us
nowly instead. 

now i won't speak more of R, of us;
language cannot touch that touch.
