I know you somehow
by the cadence of the wind
and the shape it makes around you
and how is it that you may
recognize the shape of me as well?
that you and the projected shadow of mine-
entwined
that you and I
and our ghosts have it in us- buried
in our bones, perhaps
or carved secrets beneath our ribs-
the capacity to hold
to love
that you and I found this time
under the Milky Way and Jupiter
and we cry for the seconds lost to space
and the moments where we could have had each other
