• in a dark hallway
    where we find ourselves
    suddenly alone
    our eyes seek
    and find
    then your fingers
    hesitant
    find my arm
    can’t you tell
    this moment has
    always existed
    waiting for us
    to find it
    the stars between
    our mouths
    are swallowed
    by our tongues
    as we collide
    celestial

  • this love grows tall
    stretching skyward
    with patient bones
    wise roots plunge
    deep
    into fertile soil
