TETRIS WITH UTENSILS

he readies himself / to resent her particularities

before / too late /

he worries not / this might be their last

intimacy / worries it may be their first /

always leaves hard as stone / always

returns / with a wand of moss / same old

magic / having continents take form / and

stagnate in mid-creation / satisfying only

the lava already there /
