and life grows in my love for you

 Is it possible to truly be alone

With the moon over my shoulder, you will die in my arms

I will nurse you and protect you

Let the plants weave along your naked ankles

I will offer you shoes


The face behind you, waiting

The face behind me, strong

Faces echo like a pebble in a cage

But this is more like a landslide in the open, open palm

Of me, of us, the universe


You will never be alone

Wrap yourself in my soft, stone arms wherever you go

I will give you love

Dig your toes in the dirt of my hands 

And return my embrace
