blood
flowing flooding
carrying light life
once
twice
you held me held you
lifted you me you each
raised
still divided by walls
of cloth
of unworth
of needless fear
still joined in that
in those moments
momentary
profound
but this was then
when meetings were
before meetings became
waving
over wires
over miles
waiting now
for distance erasure
roads folded together
so doors may open
bare inches apart
so our bodies may meet
blood to rushburn
drip like fire
fallslide congealed
onto my tongue
like salted honey
waiting for life again
feeding souls
me
with you
with us
as one
