    sitting in the car
    watching rivulets of rain
    gather against the windshield
    mirge and break
    like the shadows on my face

    asking

    what do i want from this time here
    the earth is still spinning
    though the sacred sun is hidden
    isn't she?
    what do i want from time?

    the answer is you
    i want nothing
    but our two lives
    to meld and diverge
    like water on the clearest glass
    two futures
    and two separate pasts

    because the streaming prisms
    of who we are and what it means
    are all that i will ever need
    in order to remain a patriot
    to our names

    i beleived you
    when you whispered to me
    my three names into the darkness
    i respected your decision
    to seek shelter among
    our ripening limbs

    still

    waiting in the still air
    of a parked car
    i know that everything
    begins
    and begins
    again
