Gazing

Location

One night I sat up

watching stars collect clouds

in their pockets,

pulls the moon in a wagon of wind

past the windows of the room,

edges of night blew

lit footprints to tackle your

frame,

smothered in pillows,

hands anchoring down my side

of the bed,

clutching the place where

my hips had been

embedded in your palms,

where my torso was molded into yours –


I didn't bother to move your arms

grabbing your scent on sheets

I wrap you around me until

we are a

reflection of mahogany and silk leaves,

nuzzled my head into locks like roots,

remembering that stars have to move forever

but I,

have rooted myself into you.
