Nothing's ensconced

Nothing's entrenched

Nothing's entangled or twisted or wrenched

Everything smoothly flows right through my head

What I had hoped might linger is swept off instead

Tunnels and channels and chasms and rifts

Shiny smooth streams and unclimable cliffs

I see you ever so slowly being drawn to the sea

As if by some signal that's unheard by me

I stand on a featurless sheet of blue stone

And for one instant I'm not quite alone

Your hand is extended but then you rescin

And you like my thoughts are borne off by the wind

Alternate/additional verse:

And here I maneuver in doubtful terrain

Wondering which of my feelings remain

Have I even met you, or is that still ahead?

What I had hoped might linger is swept off instead
