Spinning, vibrating structures

For Jenn

Utmost kindness
to the void
to human synapses
crossing the barrier of
your mind to mine.

Sitting with a cold
faith—

where separateness
disappears through imagination,
where trust swells
in holding each other,

moving delicate glass
through the chaos of life,
to put sugar on your tongue.

Petals dancing in the wind,
my heart blossoms
sweetness budding like summer peaches,
my roots dig into the earth of you.

Laying down mud and clay
against the walls
until we fortify
and find stillness in our moments.

We seek outwards
into the full spectrum of light
where atoms shake
where blood runs
and fear is erased

where the knowledge
of our collective warmth
is ever-present and immutable.
