You and I

Ours is a romance of quiet companionship.

Under bright canopies

columns of summerlight still stand.

We’ve dreamed together, loved

these briefest of lives away from dreaming

the longest of lives apart

crown in the sky, roots in the dark.

Did the space around us change and is it the same

as us both, breathing in what you breathe out.

breathe out what I breathe in.

Look at us dance.
