The Disappearing Fairy Circles

Washboard ripples,
     moving lines of force
In paper-thin foam,
     slow across glass,
The loosening curtains
      that exist for us only as beauty,
As purposeless as we believe
     our lives to be ...

The last spike of peach holds on
     against the human mind.
Everything else has been denied,
     by being understood.
The wall called understanding 
      has been placed here between us
As the mystery still
      feverishly swirls.
                                                                 
You want to know
      because you already knew
And were waiting for the moment
      to connect.
But now you are disputed.
       My lusts, my drives,
How could she
       know me anymore?
