Poem for My Love



How do we come to be here next to 
each other? In the night
Where are the stars that show us to our love? Inevitable
Outside the leaves flame usual in 
darkness and the rain
Falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh   
The black men waiting on the corner for   
A womanly mirage
I am amazed by peace
It is this possibility of you asleep and 
breathing in the quiet air
