It’s just that you reminded me
Of a river and a stream
holding hands
laughter from some drowned place
in the sea
Your body,
like a giant sun scattered with lakes
eyes that everywhere spread
the perfect
rhythm of your glace
I slept beyond the mythology of the desert
and heard,
where its shadows begin
an angel’s gray harp strings
whispering of a few things
lounging in your soul
and I might have come with the intention of the forests
Waiting for years
to drink from your breath
only to release a cool wind below the mountains
To watch you
spin a blanket and keep warm.
