the marvelous yellow sun
diminished by the elusive gaze
you give away, a haunting,
unattained, delusional image

that create stillness out of
my relentless shadows, leading me
to paths that take the form
of your hands and your veins,

gathering the stones on roads
we walk upon to save the
mythology and sanctity

of how we began, how we came
to be, how we will survive,
how we will need just one another.
