YOU EMBODY WHOLENESS TO ME

constant in mind
whirlpools of your voice
transmitted
occasionally

i want to be gone
but you never go
rhythm
my heart
your heart
your voice
our mind
throat sitting down
esophagus lava
humbled molten bones
straddling
notions
trauma
growth
love
longing
confusion

forgive me for where i’ve
paced through time

caldera memory
dormant ocean

resounding horn

life begins and began

as i heal with
and from you

lips keep their distance
atomically integrated

each of us
a
revolving
door
