heavy time smothers this body down into dust, yet I feel weightless within my
ineffable adoration for this lover;
como un abrazo,
delicately stretching out each vertebrae; lengethening the muscle fascia, vibrating down to the nuclei
in the tension there between ghost and flesh
there are fleeting eternities unacknowledged
new lovers' mysteries beckon daydreams of transcendence
over the closure of possible futures, the end of lonliness
but this lover is who joins me under a full moon, or a purple sky
splashes of milk and red on ochre horizons, in memories of youth's late nights
it is the arms who warm me in sadness and console me into hope
the transformation of lonliness and fear into love of these necessary mysteries
