When this body is awash with love
of self, I see you free of worry lines
that once defined you fall away
revealing sun flares of exuberance.
When this body sees your vibrancy
coronas form around the simplest
words like hope and be and I
let go of distances formidable.
When this body moves through paths
we cleared together aeons past
converge to higher ground, remembering
volcanoes and their blinding ash.
When this body cashes in on all
she’s seen and done, the love
that crowns your form will lift us
both from grim, erupting histories.

Lovely. BTW I read this and commented on the preview panel in the reader without actually opening your blog, and I wonder how this affects the stats.

Thank you, Mikels, both for the kind comment and the stats question. Since my current stats says all readers, so far, are from the US, I don’t know. You’ve probably had that experience too where 15 people like your post, and it shows 1 view…from Russia…visually 1/4 of the globe. Aah, stats…
