it is like you have
existed before i,
and in the darkness,
your lightness beckons.

it is like
your bright body has
mapped the secret roads
to unearth my bones
and scale them
to love's density.

it is like
the wind under every flight,
girdled to the height
of laughter lifting in moonlight,
never falls
never shatters.

it is like you have drawn
a line between
body and soul and every night,
when all lights have swayed
to their prisons,
you cross the border
where we both meet,
body
soul

in the
equinox.
