For
on Dialogues.Questions and Answers
You sat with me
under the sky-clad heaven
and I asked
if stars can be reincarnated
You laughed at my curiosity
and we blamed the world
for not knowing the answer:
found you
laughing with me.
I longed
to sit beside you
behind the moon
and find out how long
its shadow is
a little longer,
in some places , perhaps.
But I know we could do
without such questions.
a little too much
to drink.
And now stripped
of certainty, I am a child again
who grew up too fast
finding myself dizzy,
with slurred heart-confessions:
I laughed and
found you
laughing with me.
you exhaled and
the soul I inhaled,
we kissed,
tracing the beginning
of each contact
and I wonder
whether my lips
meant something more.
You wake me
from dreams
of chasing equal signs
making me realize
that reality is of two wholes
in a plane of acceptance.
My heart beats fast
to find yours
in the same incongruent sync:
found you
laughing with me.
I search with lips,
with tongue for
answers that might be
found under a blanket of skin,
on a bed of grass,
in a perfect equation.
Morning streaks
through the leaves
delivering a new-born star
making darkness irrelevant
because after all,
and
found
you.
