You, in the garden
Paused and looked me in the eye
Before you moved on.
You, in the garden
Paused and looked me in the eye
Before you moved on.
Saguaro breezes,
Thousand miles from the basin –
Love bursts boundaries.
Lower the bucket,
Searching for fresh, cool water –
Already taken.
Two dead fetuses,
Lost daughters – are they with us?
Hearts were ripped open.
Days, months, years ‘til now.
Path through vagaries of life.
Eyes and hearts opened.
Dogs snoring closeby;
Rise and fall of your breathing –
Angels know I’m loved.
