imago



We are not two minds
the mask I keep
is Yours also.

If You came any closer
I would fall
through myself
like a burning ember.

Fingertips
and sensation
are already inside You.

An arms length
can be as long as a life
or as close
as the next breath.

Until I found myself
in Your womb
completely attached
to Your Life
I thought I had a life

but I was
using Your blood
to paint tears in the dark.
