The morning dew makes its way to my bedroom window,
My mind is like wind.
The air caresses me.
The air that is love.
The air that so fruitfully beautifies the world
And I saw the world.
Before I crossed the ocean
I saw the world
Below your forehead
And above your nose,
Or maybe it was hiding in your teeth
Somewhere under your tongue.
Speak life into the air.
Let the words settle into your mind,
Eyes closed and visions full of color.
Color of sacred knowledge
Only we know.
I can live forever with this vivid image
In this world made for just us two
Save my letters,
Savor the taste before its gone.
You’re a subtle tune in my head
In my ear
And I’ll keep dancing to it
Step-by-step
Before the sun goes down
And the image goes blank.
Rosemary and time are bittersweet endeavors
Remembering and forgetting, I’ve received my
only gift.
I prayed for your eyes
When I reached the garden
I was met with brown and green
You set me on fire, I was a remnant
Of the gold that lies in the flames.
I said to myself, in the secret sanctions of my
mind,
Things I felt could only be true in the darkness of
night
When everyone had gone to sleep, could I begin to
formulate
My hopes and dreams and understanding.
You, too, can read my mind
And feel it too
Like a cool breeze on a warm day
My dreams, my deepest desires
Seen, seamlessly understood.
I know I can bleed
Smiles stem from my tummy
We are all I’ve ever wanted.
I try to run
But my calf is strained
You are quicker than me, but
I’m the messenger, I’m the power,
I’m the songs I sing that become
yours.
We exist in two places, my
mind and your feet
When we speak—I feel the
sunlight,
It’s just right, sweet honey on
my body.
I see you, right through the
window,
The sun wants you to know, I am right
for you.
