You are not there
but here in my heart
I think back to when
but you are not there, either
only as now
you are here
Because I touched you once
you’ve become always
I have heard your speech
though love you as undone
as silence
as unborn worlds
before anything can happen
I love you here
When action lands misplaced
it is done, but you are not
you will shake the field, still
you are here in my heart
Even away, home
some glimpses I fear you foreign
but beneath my skin
an old forest swallows
here, I find you native
hugged into impossible realness
because you are
intangible
Love manifest as absence
as breath unseen continually
in moments makes us
the film reel is so rapid
and past re-members itself so solid
but you are not that
You are the common denominator
needlessly infinite
and even more so
because now you are here
in my heart.
