Our bodies touch
in the southern wind.
Our eyes meet
in the moon.
We live together in a single home–
the world, and the earth
is the one bed we share.
The sky scattered with stars
is a canopy stretched above us.
Think of this, my lean beauty:
however far away
fate has taken you from me,
I still find my way
into you.
