an unsurprising miracle

it’s an unsurprising
   miracle that
we get along so well.

maybe, i’m a bit too loud
   & hug somewhat too
hard, but tao is my
   teacher with gleaming
eyes.

how can i keep my arms
   around you & let
you go at the same time?

   how does the sunlight
touch the moon?

without trying.

you are wise. you are
   yin. you are
beautiful.

you are the earth.
   i am the rain.

perfection loves
   the way we are.

how can i possibly
   experience such good
fortune? by kissing you
   on the mouth

with my eyes
   closed.
