Articulate

Are we mutually abusive
Or do we work, exclusively
Towards our own failed assonance

Are you in my groove
Or do you move, reclusively
Onwards with your own persistence

The last night of vespers
The last night of compline
Take me to your pictures

Are we getting there
Or do we have to drift further
Towards the planetarium

Are you in my curved air
Or do you kiss the Berger
As you step out of the sanatorium

The last night of dining
With the monks and brothers
Takes me to their pastures

Are we any wiser now
Or do we still
Have mountains to climb

Are you in my sentimental plough
Or do you move, at will
Inwards with your thighs to grind

The last night of this single bed
The last night of lights out at nine
Take me to your strictures
