just like you
this interrupted space
demands to speak
just like you
this silence crawls the undergrowth.
all this time,
I have been tangled
and singing your name,
pulling thorns from my skin.
each time you speak,
I blaze.
the memory shocks my blood and heart
and all is forgotten and
forgiven.
this stone, this clay,
this rosewhite beautiful.
this thread of hope,
this dreaming.
all the rest of living is a pause
until you arrive
emptied of absence and flight.
in my very wings,
begins the things that will discover
sky and true
blue beauty.
if my tears grasp the keys to my own freedom,
they will rain and
rain and
rain
until
the sun startles me back into
a new day,
alive with your laughing
or wise to know my way.
