Two

Stalwart stones  
These pillars two  
Bone of bone  
Sun and moon  
*  
The moon  
Sickled, low  
As though  
To scythe the velvet night  
Of countless fires  
Dying  
With dawning's light  
 
I am old  
Ancient of days  
Of soul  
Even drunken moments  
(Past)  
Of drink or drug  
Forgetting  
All but what is  
The pain of life  
Paradox/Paradise  
Time hollowed me  
Removed memories  
I wander wilderness  
Like trackless sea  
In vain  
 
The starless moon  
Low, round  
Pale  
Still seeks to share  
The sun's sky  
Two  
Come E'vn's fall  
 
I remember you  
When I was young  
A child  
In timelessness  
When sun wrote memories  
In rippling grass  
 
Black birds on a line  
O'r field's  
Dried stubble and clods  
Frost raised white  
Etched on edges  
As I learned seasons  
 
Once winter held snow angels  
Blanketing  
Tree and bush  
Rock and stone  
White as my breath  
Now ghosts of the past  
 
Jachin and Boaz  
Do you know what they mean  
The innerness of things  
As I know you  
Who I cannot find  
 
I knew you teenage young  
When fires burned wild  
You asked me  to "kiss" you there  
Again  
Head in your hands  
Tween creamy soft thighs  
As you moaned to my worship  
 
I knew you grown  
When love wreathed breath  
Round our kiss  
But now we know  
Love crucified  
Between the thieves  
Of want and need  
And the grass on the other side  
Is always green  
 
I've come to a time and place  
In a distant space  
Where meanings are unwound from what they mean  
And anything can mean so many things  
Seasons change  
As too the moon  
The wax and wane  
Where are our stars  
We pillared two  
Neath sun and moon  
 
I see distances rolling green  
Hills like the sea  
I am here, weathered, worn  
Somehow, still yours  
Young yet old  
Before coming storm  
And wonder  
With whom will you stand
