seven sacred

seven sacred
months
of you
of us
and absolutely nothing above
our heads
to trust
but space and sky and stars
i think now of how far
i came to find you
and the intricate
constellation
of factors
that led me here
strung together on purpose
it seems
by something
like the night we saw
the hazy mass of andromeda
through the scope
in the desert cornfield
but time and again faith
yields
to facts as cold
as these nights have been
and i admit i don't entirely
believe in
things i can't see
but we are here
and this profane
holy communion of our own
making
more than suffices
the warmth of your body
is what's true
there are no miracles
my girl
but you
