the sun still reigns
in day time
& the earth is
cradled in the oceanic
sky at night
as you, my dear,
are cradled in my
arms.
it may be true
that we return
again & again
to this life––
or it may be
we will end
holding hands
forever in our
sleep.
we do not
know.
but we feel
the tremendous good
that comes from
hearts, so close,
& touching.
whatever the metaphysics
of eternity––
love procreates
a glittering rainbow
of humanity
between us––
a cathedral for angels.
