it was a bird
that broke the back of night
a mating call unto the light
shadows black and bruises blue
it ushered in another hue

You carried a sack of feathers
over your shoulder
when I met you.
One by one I stitched them back
and then I took you out
and flung you to the wind.
You circled a few times
before you disappeared
and I when I turned to go
I found you walking at my side.

The screen against my hand
is cold to the touch
Not much at all
Like the heat that simmers
Beneath the surface
Of a smartphone
There is a universe
In the palm of your hand.

Come...
Let me embrace you
Feel my heartbeat
Lay your head
Against my chest
And know that you
Are Loved.

I am One with the notion of You

I am all over you
In more ways than one
Cover me with
Your blankets
And let it be done.

You observe
and I do
I watch
and you act
twins souls on opposite
sides of the coin
cause and effect
act and react
rats on a race wheel
until we get off
and embrace
