~
*First we close our eyes
Then we build a cloud
From the late heavy bombardment
A thermodynamic love, this
Like Chinese lanterns
In weightless ecstasy
Aloft from the surface of our sea of rains
--Marriage chords:
Thatness and thereness
Trust and remembrance
Learning to breathe without lungs
Learning to speak without words
It feels not so much like soaring through
Clouds as being made one with them*
