I Have I and You
January 19, 2012
The birds sing brighter than ever could I have,
And brighter still.
I am cold
In your arms.
The sky of late has sagged downwards,
In a steady droop,
Encroaching on our heads.
If you and I are not the most,
then what are I and you?
Long division separates the darkestness
of which we are but gray numerals,
Hazy in the light.
Serpent-trees entwine my dreams,
Red as rubies, bloodied fruit.
Where have the clouds all gone,
all the ocean waves?
And where have I?
But you,
You lie still here,
Stone-cold -
As I,
The birds,
Vanish in your arms.
