TIE YOUR HEART TO MINE
At night my love, tie your heart to mine, and both
Of us will squeeze out darkness leaving only stars.
Two hearts as one as a double drum to flood the
Ethers with a bold daunting rhythm of love.
Nightly sojourns: the flame of sleep that burns away
The threads that form the fabric of the waking earth
Where the hard porphyry of materiality has to be carried
Away in many rail cars endlessly until light is achieved.
For this very reason my love, conjoin with me into a
Purer vibrancy that beats in your heart along with the
Wings of an aquatic bird that swims underwater;
So that our restive sleep might answer the sky’s queries
With a united voice keyed to the massive door that
Shadows had closed behind us in our astral flight.
