Deja You

My love is unusual
It's painted with roses and thorns
With her I'm complete

-S. Weiland

I think I knew you in another life
before we had to worry about all that the flood of time
would leave behind -
the karmic debt
that has amassed silently
like snow falling in the mountains,
hiding the sunset.

I think I might have stolen someone's
horse
and found myself thirsty and lost at your hacienda.
The bosque would have been impossibly green. (What
would you have thought of me?)
Your hair brown and long,
I would have recognized you from a dream.

I think I'm dreaming again
sometimes.
When I open my mouth to speak there is no sound.
Has all memory washed to some green sea and
drowned? Then I see that
you are there and we are together - for the first
time, the hundredth, it doesn't matter. Lost as one -

the cloud and the rain, the crashing surf and the roar.
