In a dark, liminal space
I placed you
For your eyes blissfully violated the boundaries of my own
And, opened within me the words to speak –
To make myself vulnerable
To the flux of threads and ties and rings and strokes
Of his heart, of your heart, of their hearts –
Mindlessly binding together what I thought,
To be,
The omnipresence of arms, hands, limbs, thoughts
Artfully peeling apart your own blue sky
And placing above it, your dissent in words:
I know you.
