I carry your heart within me
i carry your heart within me
(quiet as breath
and louder than silence)
the sky folds itself
into your eyes—
blue, unending, unafraid
i am no longer a single leaf
trembling against the wind,
for you are my tree—
the root in my marrow,
that blossoms in my sleep,
the star i do not name
but endlessly will follow
if all worlds vanished
(i would still remain
because you are here)
i carry your heart within me
