I am in
a stasis
the limitless inertia of
your love
revealed
in supple decisions
in the rhetoric of heart
in simplicity of divinité,
the shimmering calm of fuchsine
aura, the flickering in the night
vectored by you
as if Venus sings to me (-in time-)
to the sweet sound of her light
becoming your vastness
astounding me in themes
of languid warmth
from beyond the light barrier
long, long before we began,
origins transforming
the zenith of who we are
as seminal beings
in a universe
learning how to love
