Now there are years


Upon our first meeting
The glances were stolen
Quick and furtively
Because our images
Were like that of the sun:
Overwhelming warmth and blindness,
Too much and not enough.

Time wears on and passions transform
But now there are years
In a wink, nod, brush of the hand:
A renewal in every exchange.

Flashing grins transcend intimacy,
Lips on skin trace eternity,
And peeling paint and cracked concrete
And cat’s fur and flower petals
And crocheted blankets and antique lamps
Continually sing synchronicity.
