1)

Two rain drops
Landed on your
Windowpane

After a long time
They had gathered
Enough

To break free
And take release
Under the tender
Dominion
Of Gravity

On the way down
Two
Became
One

2)

When lying next to you
You hold up my hand
Far above the earth
Of our bodies
As if it were all the
Stretching fingers of the stars

Into my hand you draw a moon
With the smooth tip of your finger
As if to tell me that all I do
Is caught and reflected
In the silver of your smile

3)

When our abbs
        Burn
Like surrender
And our bodies
Clench
        Tight like fault
Lines before an earthquake
And we sweat boulders
Like all the mountains
That have ever fallen into
The ocean trying
To fill the waves

Each of these acts of devotion
Return our love back as sand
Washed up on a familiar shore

These tiny gifts I will gather
Until the wind
Decides it will no longer carry us
And the moon gives up
Her guarded distance
To come lay her face
Against the deep
