For, one does not visit thoughts. 

One goes there – where they are potentially, hopefully, housed;
To the places, spaces, which they possibly haunt. 
And hope that the thought opens itself to you. 

That the thought visits you.

Reaching out to touch, to hold, to embrace;
to wrap one’s arms around you.
Softly, gently, tightly, intensely. 
To drape, to fold, to coil, to grasp, to clench.
To strangle,
then unravel. Knot.
Creases crisping of 
tensions unresolved
that cannot be ironed
or steamed into softness 
again. 

Masks are the sign of our times, sign of our friendship: I risk you not, nor me.     
I wrap myself up for you.
