Predestination

D. Michael McNamara


Evolution
��I am a new man, and we are the victims.
Direction
��Facing Mexico, my horns cast shadows from the light of the sun bounced off of
the moon.
Equality
��From the moon the Earth glows.
Illumine
��It is not something picked up by the senses, but a sort of static.
��A vibration.
��A spot on my body that I would itch even without the irritation.
Prompt
��I need your satellite smile.
��The gravity-free cavity in your chest.
Transmission
��If we pulled ourselves into the other we would still be outlines trying to be a solid.
Confrontation
��Certain stars meet again.
��Orbital patterns are like instinct.
��We knew we’d circle around and past but we never thought we would collide.
Shape
��Mass multiplied by form doubled by speed equals want.
Facade
��You have called me an antique cathedral waiting for prayer.
��Do not leave me.
Segue
��Warmer than my blood and colder than my hate.
��It is difficult being a misanthrope with you as part of this world.
Structure
��I will love you.
