I know all of you but still sometimes feel
part of you outside in the world somewhere.
Contained, archaeologists fossil chase,
returning indoors only for prayer.
It’s always been what I love about you:
coronal sweat with a separate heartbeat:
thumping, auteurishly self-sufficient,
it lives aside you even in traffic.
You know me all but sometimes I see
two perpendicular universes
trading glances before the Pujari
sanctions our travel with knowing smiles.
I miss the silver streak in your ringlets
wrangling its peers – and with all that too
much was said about your laugh,
the forlorn yawp of Timbuktu.

You can't know all of anyone… There'll always be something that would catch you off guard!
It's a different read, though a good different 🙂
