Finding Me Finding You

when love
does find love
it will be
the blood that speaks
in soft red circles  on our lips

when love
does find love, (my lover)
an ocean will flow from our hearts
raging silent
spreading blue sky
framing our bodies that press in the same circles
as our mouths,
rushing into each other.

tonight our love rides on a mermaid's blue sigh

i found her, wandering
between my words this green morning
as i came home from not being loved.
there between letters i cleaned her hands, dark as night
from touching the curves
of every poem i sent to her
after  (trembling with yearning lips) celebrating each joint in her tiny body
that carried her to me i then rose her to her feet
far from the earth
where i stood below her and drank
her sky

while she let out
a blue mermaid
sigh
