Placemarks (names for the book)

Embrace the whole, but let the
parts also encompass places. Also:
the name itself lets things join.
Forever after, what comes before.
This is music. Heard,
remembered. Extending hand,
let in. Following is moving,
eventually coming upon (meeting).
But meeting is melting.
Unless, unto. Seeming, been.
Words live beside each other,
bask in themselves, bask
in each other. Little hurts.
words said, real too, eyes
aside, small things not
said, not yet met, misheard,
misunderstood- face, glances
averted.
