Life among Life

Infinite as galaxies unexplored,

nameless for the colours of beauties unknown,

a frozen moment pondering a description.

A silent breath that escapes your lungs

during the intervals where I breathe you in.

 

I want to capture what you are in my hands

so that I can examine intimately

I want to lay you open so that I can see

all that you are.

 

- a complex mixture of bone, muscle,

a pounding heartbeat, electrical impulses

and nerves

specifically designed to be

a life

alongside mine.
