Thomas Lowe Taylor -- to an as yet unseen presence

***************


people with large feet seldom blow over in high winds
are known for being able to take the big step
are generally well-footed, er -rooted in their behaviors
grounded, balanced, well-astrid the mute rapunto

in sensate husko
otic pone, as in aural sects
mutants among the treasures
of the house

she at limb tornado in the heart's heat
yet speaks again a deeper retreat
an encounter's worth repeat
set aside, nor not entreat

the other side of this
is there, where you are
made maid in time's healing spin
again's unfold, soon

er than not, that "later"
in the mind a shell-shocked
presence never arrives

later for later

at now
