I have survived so long to become part of the infinite
I am a thick of mississippi kudzu reaching into every open corner of this home i have built to decorate its walls with my gracious touch
I will find you under a sky washed in amber and your lips will be plump with the riches of comfort
Strangers become friends and then lovers and return once again to passing faces
Someday we will meet with a quiet collision
Drinking dew from your brow like sweet wine, i will reminisce on the nights i have prayed for your wellness
I sow seeds into the ground for myself and for you so that when we are here we may watch the world spin on the point of a needle and see nothing but the green blur of living
I know you as i always have, the child of my unforgiving kindness
Finding ways to teach you everything i know so we can share this ray of sun above our face and know that it has been a long time coming
My blood is the well from which i have watered my spirit until it has sprung from mortal coils and spread through every ugly thing, collecting as veins do to supply these minds with the thrum of my heart
When my eyes have cleared and it is time for me to introduce myself i will grow into every space i have left just for you
The one i wanted so dearly you will find me when i have stopped searching, and stand in awe of my endless being
I have fallen in love with you with every moment i saw men dancing with their brothers and kissing the earth with their blinding joy
I have fallen in love with you through dying breaths where i begged to be given a sign that this was only first of many grievings
I have fallen in love with this feeling of my own skin holding me together so that i may hold you
I was made to feel this
