YOU AND I
They say love begins with a smile
with lips parting
-ours began after a smile and two bodies attacked each other
flesh on thorns
flesh torn by thorns
leaving our bodies desolate
reeking of war
-war at night
war at day
war when all we had was hunger
it became beautiful patterns we left
on our skin, a road map to starvation
of where the oasis lay…
We once said this wasn’t love
–but a star
it will twinkle and die.
But our bodies told us a different lie
We were witches
meant to be burnt at stake
Pile of firewood longing to be licked
By fire
By things that burn and cool and burn again
*
‘I belong to you’
And that was it –how a corpse become a living thing
-how God said; “let there be light”…and there was US
Instead. Day
and night, fire and water.
You and I
