Lastly
Lastly, the light, curry sun falling
against the walls, against your eyes
has washed out the fire we carry, ignite
and tired our thoughts left to smoke
We sit, Indian style, toes touching in kind
while we blessedly breathe, while we hold and exhale
all the words which we wilted and bruised and impressed
with aggression befitting of wolves
Love, in the room, while the sun floats away
to enlighten the world, the other side of the world,
while we sleep off our grievances, old and contrived
by two vividly thinking creations
Lastly, the kiss, to the full moon's delight
in full recompense, in full forgiveness
to white wash the wind and expose gentleness
and leave us in passionate sleep...
