my grandmother’s name was emily
i never imagined
it cd be so easy
to share my heart.
my heart in yr chest
yrs in mine
back & forth
back & forth
as naturally
as breathing.
souls coming together
without conflicts or defenses
glass partitions or
security guards
confusions or
obligations
sharing through the same eyes.
we danced through
the endless corridors of
each moment
tip toed between light &
shadow, hid
behind stone pillars that
remember everything, giggled
in front of the amazed
madonna & her happy
child.
it all hugged together
like clowns & princesses
daffodils & hillsides
the sky and the
hazy moon.
i wuz dizzy & happy &
swirrrling around lamp posts
whn i touched my lips to
yr cheek just to
anchor things
somewhere.
it wuz the only honest way
to end the dream.
