apperances can be relieving,
just for something to have a stable appearance,
to not come from nothing
and return to nothing
like love and hate do;
held in different faces and places,
and hidden approaches
coming from nothing!
like a boy to a girl or a girl to a boy -
(because there is an undifferentiated heart from some first lizard
who didn't prefer boy or girl
but had just hunger) -
"what are you looking at"
the question always hopeful
on a lark buying lotto tickets
the answer
always
"nothing"
but the attentive know
it could be a tunnel they're looking
into
and they could see
their new hate or love
for you approaching
and it will appear
in their face,
a twist, an upturn
instantly recognizeable
and yet always novel -
love or hate
their lizard heart
fights yours -
the first primal love
affair, the only differentiation:
survive or perish,
accept or shunt,
hate even that which is generally
you, if it is not exactly
you.
And we hide our eventual
plans in the nothingness -
to start off most is already hidden,
from us as well.
and love just as suddenly,
so that even the expected love
of tired, we've had dinner
there already
couples,
can when paid close attention
to, be seen as merciful by either
of them,
merciful and unlikely,
and dangerous.
You go on and on
and love that which lets
your dangerous hinging
Janus face approach - with his/her
own jaws lax, succor eyes
(bodies merge
like wet mud
into the cornerstone
gamble of a city,
an empire
a million hate love hands
lighting up like savage las vegas,
and no one ever wins forever)
