And there above
The tree line
Hangs shadowed streaks
Of angels wings
Fluffy and plump
Remnants of last
Nights heavenly play
Uplit by Saul’s
Slow waking below
The sky shimmers
Like the insides
Of sea shells
Pink and blue
While the shade
Of night rolls
Up far west
Lovers wake with
Kisses and hugs
And morning coffee
Starting this day
When two people
Come together wholly
Certain of who
They are separately
But absolutely uncertain
Who they are
Together this is
Called an entanglement
How do they
Know simply look
At their hands
And their legs
And their lips
If those are
Entangled so are
They right now
Like a slice
Of warm pie
The east glows
An iridescent buttery
Pastry flaky yellow
And disappears into
The gooeyness of
Midnights blueberry filling
Ala mode naturally
With the appearance
Of Saul now
Melting into daylight
Bite after delicious
Bite I too
Become this day
And then you
Said that you
Haven’t seen me
In so long
But my love
The heart sees
What the eyes
Cannot the truth
So when your
Eyes miss me
Just know that
Your heart doesn’t
Like laying on
The bottom of
A cold clear
River bed and
Watching the rainbow
Trout shimmer past
This morning’s dawn
Is the same
Bands of soft
Red surround streaks
Of blue as
White gray tops
The swimming sky
As suddenly as
It appears it
Darts away giving
Way to the
Calm blue water
There above me
