In
the dark
I
cannot grasp the light
Words
just out of reach
You’re
mercurial
Like
a cat or hurricane
Secrets
encase you in stone
I’m
a poet and so are you
We
both made sacrifices
It’s
the covenant we made with God
You
possess electricity and it possesses you
The
hellhounds on your trail resemble unicorns
I
looked into your eyes and found Dante’s “Paradiso”
In
the light
I
reinterpret the dark
Words
smother me in kisses of oblivion
You’re
quicksilver
Like
a first edition or crossword puzzle
Clues
outline you in child’s chalk
We’re
both human and supernatural
You
know it and I know it too
It’s
the bond me made when still in the womb
You
ponder existence and it ponders you
The
angels in the architecture believe in you
You
looked into my heart and found me just out of reach
