I remember when

(we had first metagain, the sky was blue

and every green leaf seemed kin in our branches)

You loved me

and it showed in every word, soft-whispered

(no search for affection in bills paid typed words and)

feather-swept gazes caressing (stolen)

kisses

Youwe erected promises in sweat (touches

tickles those Goddamned)

eyes (Goddamn it all) ever meeting

Never without

Each former desert an oasis, (grey sky now)

threatening

eternal(ly dry, parched, our new expression of)

love (as your new eternity dawns golden)
