Light From This Turning

February 13, 1998

I have lost touch with

distant trees,

the wind you brought

in your hair

and lilac hills.

Something different

bites into the river.

Love you are like that

distant water, pulling

and twisting, you let

my hair float slowly

through new colors,

my eyes absorb

all light

from this turning

that has brought us

here, has carried us

to where we are,

we are
