I am standing

when it arches
and you sweat”

Text and sources

walking down the river I saw you opening in all the blossoms I passed I touched you touching petals damp with rain my body remembers you you ‘ve filled me hum deep and wide could I sing the sound it would be a slow river moving kissing rocks dancing grass without you here I am standing in the river feeling for rocks that are the curve of your back when it arches and you sweat how, by saying yes to the astonishments of love, have we become the mirror for change?
