I saw her smile wide, and stunned she sat
Listening to the words I didn’t say –
And listening for a second enlisted the day
To once again call her my one –
I saw her picking up pieces of me by the
Mountainside scattered under Junipers.
Pines, lakes – I am a burnt impression
On the calloused earth
She beckons me like a shallow pool
I smile at the forgettable fool, I was
Forever in temporary love
She listened to the words I couldn’t say
She listened to images not yet stitched
On to the Earth trembling beneath us
I smile, six feet deep basking in the
Womb of her desire –
Let me take in the nutrients,
And forever float freely in the birth of you
Speaking with God on a road to redemption.
