the good life

i was born the
day i met you
with a smile on my face

& i’ve been giggling ever
since.

your name means
happy heart &
i aim to keep
it that way.

not time
not space nor
all the everything
in between & beyond

can capture
we nobodies going
nowhere.

who never could
have imagined
so happy a life
as this––

colorless rainbows,
bodies without bones,
goodness embracing shadows,
traveling on parallel light beams––
not waves,
not things.
