    This desk is authentic.
    My word has etched into the wood
    your damage, your contact, your breath.
    A locked smile is another sentence absorbed.

    Night time lets flow the whirlpool rings
    when I go to the surface, to the image
    and pass the edge of periods.

    I became aware here, I came passing your hesitation,
    inserting, you know, that you and I have known.

    Your beam almost stands in answer,
    but confusion sets directly to movement
    and I don’t roll until called upon,
    I don’t come promoting.

    Your air is restricted, monopolized.
    Your promise is restricted to stone,
    but really, no promise / no condition
    means this won’t take the hammer.

    A small double meaning:
    I brush the code to your eye
    and my center which dies
    won’t cross desire.

    this poem made me go "oo":p
    or "awe!" in a sense of...well...awe!

    The second stanza is as gold sparkles
    glittering in the black static of misunderstanding.

    A desk, of clearly rejected scraps,
    brings forth from its fragments
    a wet and polished pearl.

    And I wonder: antique or modern

    thanks all for your comments, they're appreciated!

    both, my dear! this one was originally written about 10 years ago, but yesterday I translated it into japanese, then translated it back into english (which put one wildly different twist to it), then tweaked a bit, and wallah!
