All the books you gave me
reel around my room at night
because I have no safe place
to put them, because they are
like you.  
Among and beside the waiting secret;
despite the years of ironing useless records
into the air above
are you not still the radiator
in my elsewhere, lifting up your head,
the best,
the loveliest
and I want to be that true to you,
that awakening.

can i flash the
signal lights or am i just
the waiting room

The punctuation (or lack of) after "like you" and "above" threw me off a bit. I really enjoyed this... a lot, but for some reason i felt the first part was incomplete... and that the second was an extension, but not expressed as one...

the first part (up until "like you") it felt as if you were making a conceit... and then suddenly forgot to prove it to me.

while the second felt whole and beautifully crafted, but extended from the first.

I am not sure really. I found it stunning, but incomplete. I wish i could be more helpful.

Beautiful work.
