eye pollen

i blew you off
like a dead dandelion
floating on a stiff breeze.
lying to ourselves

about wanton desires.
we're dry timber
just waiting for a spark.
lightning never strikes

the same hearts twice
so i walked away.
made your argument
against deaf ears.

you can't see that
we're helen keller,
trying to traverse
a great divide with

none of our senses intact.
just let your fingertips
slip a little and
we'll both be free.
