lone denominator

again, going once,
going once again,
going twice, going
going gone, gong
reverberates,
once again our
hands hover
over each other's,
going again,
gone once more,
nobody's business
but my going,
but my goneness,
but my perpetual
insistence, gone,
this reverberation
gong, this plate
of colorful mistakes,
this wash of gone
feeling, this lake
so green, this drained
of meaning, going,
going, wishing
perfection gone,
the lilt of the body
towards a touch,
the going
of the body
towards gone.
