Young Nights
It never is what we expect it to be.
Time velvet soft on your face
Wrapped in all dark with hair like cellophane
Here on your lips
Being loved is like this.
Companion
Flickering back and forth hot and blue and past us now
Piercing and Tight
Unnoticed uncompromised
And I am it.
I am the becoming.
I am here and present and God
Alive
God alive again
Down from a mountain, in a city without rest,
A peoples whose body is their home - presence is their castle
and I am here for maybe the first time- one with them
A flickering moment to belong to a thing more real than lead,
more anatomic than carbon,
I am here for what it is and for all that it can be,
To be served by you - all night.
Companion of this same land
Partner in this same space
Echo
What expands your world?
What makes big, what was once small?
Find magic
Floating - Unattainable
A perfect light only you can feel
Since you
I look at the moon and think of you
Soft like you could be, and always so distant
