and so we are through another day
swearing allegiance to the next
and remembering only at the last
moment to grab hold
of each other, in passing
what of your hand
is bound to find a home
in mine, if we continue
courting the rising of the sun
as we might, as we do, as we will
tonight, before
morning wakes hungry for noon
let’s tempt memory with the minute
time was still, where only those rooted
in the dark wind move
