Susanne Takes Me Down

She takes me on a long journey
unwinding the exotic roots of familiar things.
She confounds me by melting thin disguises on familar faces.

I know her house has many rooms
but when I enter
chambers fold inside of vaults.

She holds my hand in and out of speech corridors,
plunging through the magnetic membrane of a water drop,
and boundries of a song.

(bow to Leonard Cohen)
