and a lunar rain
rice paper boats and a secret temple
a pagoda of origami silhouettes
three steps - a woman
patience in blue
silk of silence
the living room
plush
Velvet and wood
ornate gaze upon the walls -
intense.
footsteps behind
fingers over my eyes -
" What do you see ? "
I feel you ...
auburn fur
coat of synesthesia
across the room
legs gesture
your fingers scrying my palms
we rose
to the simple
a bed in the middle
we laid down and looked up -
stars stars and stars
etched in those surreal nights
salvation
you and the way -
we looked at each other
