"thoseeyes" poems
evening everlasting;
the night dissolved, seeping into the world
aroundus
_now_
farbehindus
existence echoed, persisted behind us
Over sweet sighing, parting.
……………………………………………………...
Like a dream I had forgotten how it had begun.
So, I was left to be aware of what was before me.
I glanced at this hand,
& a moment of infinity
was entered.
I was at the cusp of the end of an exhale
Pressing my lungs to my heart
Held in my sight:
the shape of those fingers,
half curled over the air.
A shift! The pairs were caught:
For the first, ever, I was sealed;
it happened inside thoseeyes.
The world echoed its way out a backdoor behind us.
Shut, my breath gave out to a quick intake.
As in a dream I traced the sweet remembered melody melded of that still moment: a soft ringing, clean&pure.;
I woke up.
