BODY DOUBLE

Your “life without limits?”

insinuated itself into the metaphor of my impressions,

frisking about in their ambivalence-

a metaphor doubled.

But life’s tenacity emits literal promises,

exact directions

that have to be harvested

as if by a swordplay between musing and insouciance.

The answer that matters is lurking

beneath all aspirations,

hoping to feed once more

on an unabridged perhaps edition of my misdoings.
