time

the plan was simple
to meet for that purpose
after thirty-three years apart
even though they had only
been coupled for one year shy
it was a year of comets
and since both had married
with children
and one’s child was with child
reminders of mortality
littered the autumn field
like mines of a war
and the two
drunk
with conviction of an end
mapped the plan
and when the two met
they made love
as if
time
did not exist

I place 26 letters from the English alphabet melded occasionally with Arabic numbers in sequences I enjoy while utilizing blank spaces and 14 punctuation marks between said letters or numbers to create expression. For example: Ingrid enjoys cotton candy, mathematics, feather-light kisses, removing wood splinters from soft feet, and whiskey with an e. One day she will die and be gone forever. The dream she loves is often smooth as black glass. Too many people are scared to live. Not Ingrid. Some days she wields a heavy maul, shattering the black glass touching her dream. Most of the atoms comprising Ingrid exploded from unstable high mass stars, billions of years ago. That makes her smile. Ingrid is the strongest, most beautiful, most alluring person in the universe - at least that's what David, thinks.
