Deep Ambivalence

 

Everything's a sign

Except when it's not 

 

Help me feel this deep ambivalence

I can feel no way out

 

We're left revealed 

As the world spins opposite

 

Distance grows

Between thoughts and tongues

 

I meet you there 

Caked in intentions

 

We spend hours getting back

To what we think in our thoughts 

 

I feel fine despite signs 

To the contrary

 

I live in moments

Easily forgotten

 

No need to resolve

Deep ambivalences 

 

The rent's somewhat affordable

I'm moving there now

Hi Robert
you caught me with the two opening lines. I thought when I read this it had the feel of a song about it and then read your profile so I wasn't surprised. Either way it works well as a poem or a song.
love it, I hope to read more.
