Ritualist

Boundaries untouched-
        I held your hands.
        Peer to peer.

The highway apart-
        we will become strangers,
        when life would beat the flower beds.

From mountain top-
         the moon will come down,
         to ask for the way to martyrdom.

How will I find you-
         riding on a hurricane,
         when the deluge underwhelms the bridge.

Not made public-
         I took you in moonlight,
         celebrating the arrival of the cage.
