alchemy at midnight

up late
talking baby names -
"consuela?"
"consuelo"
"a name must be
like music"
"lola?"
"hell no!"
and so it goes -
the same conversation
from years past
but now different
maybe because i've grown
up
and can feel only
elation
at the thought of a part
of me
of you
formed by something like
magic
then thrown off
into a future
vast as space
and the light
from the other room
makes your face
an old world masterpiece
painted in a time
i can barely comprehend
i close my eyes and kiss
your forehead
seeing only black
and sheer worlds
without end
