How do we come to be here next to
each other? In the night
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
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
