Love is…
Posted on | February 15, 2006 | 18 Comments
In the atmosphere above the sun
the sky is dark and stars whirl.
From there love scatters earthward
arcing the distance between the divine and us,
–and I am drenched with it.
In the way my small boy,
newly walking, curls his fingers
tightly around my hand
and together we cross the room;
or the way my man
cups my face in his hands, still fiercely
with want and tenderness after seven years.
