the priceless tree of wonder

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
