on an internet kind of day

I can go incandescent 
                                       waiting, for you--
are lunatic with longing 

doing wondrous things--
                                        and where we are
there is time for refuge 

use your words, as they say
                                         call out to me--either
I didn't catch your name

or I forgot how to say it 
                                          in English
you laugh in confusion 

tell me how you found
                                           a way--without 
saying where it might be
