I read her face – faceless in the shadows,
She speaks to me – I listen; not doubting,
Hearing her I hear; I her – I he,
Two hands – not touching,
I pursue the dreaming; I / me / he,
of her / me / she,
drowning in shallow waters,
yet deep; eyes wandering,
yet deeper; my longing,
our belonging,
the we; the coming
of age,
the becoming of us,
the priceless tree
of wonder
