When We Touched

Becoming other people
Morphing into other things
Twisting in the energy
of connections
deepened in intimacy


I still think about you
when the desert air
breathes sunrise
into grateful lungs
Smoke-tendered eyelids
burning from midnight

Fire dancing in the light
  of your charming laughter

                                    (
We were shadows in the dark
falling into an ocean of stars. )

Sparks spilling wrecklessly
 through a wandering breeze

Our faces pressed together against the
 night

Our lifelines forever woven in a tapestry of time
         a knot,
        a snag,
             a stitch,
          entangled
