(Minor) detail

the place where we connect
should be a handshake, or a hug
a common ground on … common ground
not just a thought we write down
before we forget

and with every significant amble
roots reach deeper
plotting out new corners
of this sumbiounic detail

a non-existent word
that can not be explained
nor shrugged away;
the presence of a present
constantly unwrapping its veil
until more connections remain

and finally,
the last hurdle we face
is this fear of drawing out
a direction, unseen
which, we already have done
and therefore is a moot
convention
of still wanting
what Is
and not
could have been

You should inject political expression into your poetry.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm deliberately staying away from politics (at least, in poetry, that is). :-)
