We Sank Into Rain
I felt among the tired stars
for you
among the frozen banks
of ice and blue
and soon
the rushing wind
came weeping
with weary tones
aching echoes of the world
I felt with burning hands
for you
in twilight mist of eucalyptus
churning clay in waves of red
with trembling fingers
nearly dead
frail in the face of the sun
I felt inside my twisting heart
for you
in brittle bone-shards shattered white
and reaching deep
I found your pulse
in ancient forests standing silver
in sprouting green and gasping sky
in ever-growing vines of life
I found you
with golden moonglow in your hair
and softly
we sank into rain
