remember, sometime will become 
the rest of your life

we feel each others fingers as they mingle 
with each others hair
we never know from which is which
or where is where

until we have to part to start anew
awakened by

not the light 
but the breaking of light

a freedom sound
as it escapes from shadow

the chase, the capture
the escape, 

night following day
light penetrating night

pursuant to the new

it was before your time
murmurs, then moans
then a breath inhaled by two
exploding into you
conceiving something
greater than themselves

pursuant to the new

striving toward equality
a neutrality that would remove 
all striving

pursuant to the new

It was after our time 
when history returned

there was never a new to pursue

only an undiscovered part 
of the turning wheel
