were waiting

there was a separate scale
of knowing there we don't
speak of it so much as see
amidst its not believing

the questions never end
as you the scale playing
as if feeling empathies
which may not be answered

I never wanted to go alone
and there finding I didn't
became known by the wait
outstripping its impatience

my hand on her door becomes
her ardent curiosity
and then mine avid also
as we shyly kindly reach

into our nature improbably
seen not believed we are
faithful that what will be
us touches what is us now

if once i

know myself a moment
that's absent of hope
or frustration and sense
the world without magic
protecting my redoubt
and in that moment stop
creating it and love
it for what it isn't,
then surely you'll walk
in a light of innocence

(outstretched)

















here we have met
and married briefly
until we left us
fearing what we weren't
seeming to be split
our hearts in five
 
here we feel like we
perhaps shaped our love
somehow felt far more
aware of each other
than distance or time
allows us to maybe
 
here we love remembering
why we always felt
we could, enlaced
fifty fingers, twenty
which never let go
and always wouldn't have
 
here we decide
to playfully part
to see if we can
by no known means,
but eternity to search,
find each other again
 
here we were
looking at possibility
considering probability
parsing conditionality
dreaming uncreation
deciding to abide
