with you

i

what happens if i
open my heart &
you
enter?

what if you open
your heart
inside?

ii

you close your eyes &
imagine you cannot
see

reach out
but cannot find your
hands

you are the sun in a
blazing heaven &
an earthly
moon

the wine inside the
seed of the
grape

the man-child in the
orchard of your mother’s
mother’s womb
the woman-girl in the
sperm of
god

hear the sound of
one hand
clapping
touch the face before
your parents’
dreams were
born.

iii

if you ever find your way to
the light of the second
sun, you’ll breathe
without oxygen, see
without opening your
eyes

forever will never be
very far
away.

time passes
lovingly.

let the body accept it’s
ruin as we blaze in
golden
light

healing every heartfelt
hurt
however deep
