Here too, okay?

"He found her twirling sunsets on her tongue,
Pulled his heart and a compass from his pocket.
He led and she followed,
Finding perfect imperfection in every stone at their feet.
He pulled at the leaves and thoughts that tangled in her hair.
She shook her head to clear the moths and superstitions.
He fell to his knees to kiss the center of her gravity but landed in her ocean.
She rescued him...breathing starfish into his surprise.
And then it was, as all is always,
He was here and she was distant.
And they licked salt-water whispers off their wounds,
wrapped in quiet purpose and bound by seaweed."
For Stanley from Stella with all of her love always. June 07, 2004
