Logical Conclusion

The logical conclusion

of your first dark look

follows a classical line

of argument

from guarded greetings

and breathless sudden sightings

to the inevitable

and impermeable

privacy of embrace

[that cannot both be

and not be:

reductio ad absurdum].

Were you mine

I would stub my toe

against a rock and have

nothing to prove.

In absence, you are

not a conclusion, perhaps,

but that first,

(the only sufficient)

unprecendented premise

of desire.
