ignore
my resistance
to find you anew
– as sweet
was your voice
to favor my skin
to remember
where graces
fell through the night
like stars from orion –
this fate to defend
how it was
was it easy
was it ever that way
a morning so fragile
it took me
away
willed my returning
from a place not so far –
to find you here waiting
this moment
to start

how it was
was it easy
was it ever that way
