Last night,
I fucked the sky
and those low, lilac clouds
where they entered,
left raindrops within me:
little pools of life
coming together,
then overflowing
I saw the years ahead of me
reflected in a droplet
my face the dark centre
and the golden sunlight
encircling every possibility
Today, complete,
I carry our connection:
I hold my lover by the hand
beside me gently
I lay my legs to rest
in damp warm earth,
where I no longer need them;
my darling clouds,
they bathe my face in daylight
mist my brow
in the soft wet spray
of their beauty
and now,
I take to floating
rise slowly up
up, up,
with them,
away
