YOU AND ME
We have never been apart.
And still our main chore remains undone.
I hold you in my heart, or is it you holding me, keeping me alive?
Every morning, you, my first tender thought lights up the air
as every night, you, the shadow, dampens our fertile land.
We have never been apart.
Somewhere else, somewhere so out of reach as for yet
somewhere we embrace and fly entangled
somewhere we kiss with desperation
we kiss with elation
we kiss out of nothing but knowing
we,
who have never been apart
are finally together.
