so true
the only light tonight
enters my bedroom windows
from the bulbs strung out back
a faint glow
reflecting off the late night snow
offering a warm hello
and my barely open eyes
don’t see much
but the shadowed ceiling
whatever lives deep down in my chest
has some other kind of sight
a perfect vision, despite the light
and it sees me in all my aloneness
and it knows you and all our tenderness
two truths, fully present here in the dark
we are our own trinity
both of us beautifully unique
and also something better
in those moments when we allow
our independence
to be dependence
it takes trust
hope
patience
and it’s hard to hold them all at once
but when we do
oh, it is so true
