whenever the silences
fall on our supple bodies,
it is as if we are strangers.
now that i am coming home to you,
the memories make the evenings
longer, stretching them to their
capacities.
when we are lulled out
in the surge of the next moment,
our eyes pull us back to
each other's arms as we struggle
to make collision. whenever a bendable luminary lifts to light your face in utter calmness, many stories ache to be told and now, once more,
i hurry home to the warmth
of your hearth,
tender with the conflagrations
of my heart's tillage
and all the aggregations and their accompanying pains,
i have voluminous stories to
still in your ears. these intimate susurrations.
will you listen?
