BETWEEN US
Still-water serene
permeates the spirit.
The longing was
to be reassured, love affirmed.
The longing now
to reassure.
Yes! I say, across
the empty pools
The vast voids
the wind-howled wastes
Between us.
Still-water deep
burrows the longing.
The spirit wills
to scream the affirmation
Of my desires,
to smash into fragments
The transparent, cruel
crystals of air and time
Between us.
