Catching a lover in the light
Like a comet putting moons to flight
She can’t tell it’s me
A sailor who can’t see the sea
How can this be?
A dancer comes to the edge of the earth and
Leaps, descending giddily
Falling faster in love than nine meters a second
Gravity whirling us together
Neither one nor the other, fused
A blissful, impossible beast
Her furious contradictions
Function as benedictions
I can’t tell her I’m simulated
It would kill her, and I’m not alive
I’ll say little and set us to meet at
A place past our happiness
Beyond our own truth
We’ll see if love conquers all
Not just us
