music in the dark

last night under what stars
we could see
with the
sacred mountain
watching
in the distance
we danced to the ecstatic
flamenco
by way of southern
france
electrified
until we were exhausted
sitting back down
and holding each other
until the music
drew us up again
together
for two hours
that seemed like
a lifetime
that should have been
and which it's never
too late
to begin
like the journey
of an explorer
at sea
on the edge
of the known world
and how they cling to
what they have memorized
of the constellations
and currents
i knew your eyes
were chocolate
under that cloud-flecked
and
black
monsoon sky
your eyes are mine
and mine
yours
and all we see is holy
most of all this love
that we've just now learned
to name
and proclaim
and discover again
like fire
and how
fueled by the air
it grows
and flares
up
so suddenly
so wonderfully
and beyond
all
control
