new job and getting married
well, since you put it that way, I guess you're forgiven

"Différance"
The take you shared, the hot one,
the one that’s roaring through the corridors of discourse
lopping off heads and limbs in a frenzy of
Enlightenment —
The take that’s taken you away from me,
carried you on a wave of blood
into the arms of a swarthy Frenchman —
Should I even say it?
Would you believe me if I said
that I'd arrived at this take before,
completely independently?
It came into my line of vision,
a burning star, a supernova:
I turned and ran and escaped.
But now, my love, it’s caught you by the ankles
and sucked you under the door.

2020 ILX Poetry Competition: VOTE HERE
Please note I screwed up in transcribing the entries, failing to separate the end of imago's second poem and the start of JHM's second poem. The true copies are included here in this thread.
