ready for a miracle

eyes touch from across the room
    hands reach out, bodies fuse
         souls blaze with phosphorescent light
                dissolve in incandescent night.

here we are in complete disbelief
    worn out by worry
         exhausted by grief.

yet i am me
    & you are you

we are what we are
         & that’s the best thing.

the present imperfect
         is our paradise.

i’m ready for a miracle.
         maybe you are too.
