For My Husband
You are my constant, my breath, my comma
I understand my world through you
The slightest look and you unbend me
I cannot sleep without your hands
You have this stillness with which you save me
Your quiet shadow - my symphony
Your tears and laughter course through my body
My refugee camp is in your hands
So now our embers are just cool dust rocks
Our wars and triumphs barely a pause
We hide each other in all tomorrows
As we let go of yesterdays
A gentler wind now sways our bodies
Your eyes still hold my universe
The clock slows down
and with its rhythm
we swim to yet another bay
