For affirming clarity
And the home in your voice
Dissolving jagged agony
From every clutched breath
To post my mending hands
On your face and your chest
Releasing the torrents
of starvation and absence
May I have this dance?
Conjuring alchemy in our bones
We are outside of Time and
The Universe says YES
Will you please look at me?
I wanted to reach out.
