if I don't come forgetful
may I so present:
a twice-seen thin red line
a shirley movie, the one, where he
shows up in the background by means of music,
steps out to the seat next to me and accompanies
in the nigh when I break into a moment
of clarity
a twice-read katzir (the world
runts in two since I've known him)
the sights of prague
everlasting park walks where he held me
a box of quotes
a pidgeon-hole of thoughts
(if I don't come forgetful)
the hand I lay on his arm
all of this, may I herewith present
to the omnipresent gods
of all-but-one face
