Love and death

Love and death

Lest
we
know

silence
comes
between us

so the only
hint
of assurance

is
in eyes
or skin

will I go
where
you go?
Gibbous moon in willowsAnd so it is.

Blessèd Be.



Note: These words came fully formed when I awoke this morning, cuddling with Jim, from a strange and elaborate dream of Bob Dylan being courted by a young ruffian whose poetry had caught his attention. The melody of "Romance in Durango" was playing in my head.

The soul is such a mystery.
