Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

Fine Wine Kisses at midnight

Quietly 
I brushed against the bond
It holds, muted in resignation
Its been difficult recently
and still the birds haven’t migrated
Waiting for something specific
To unfold
my ears become curious
Finches
Nested themselves in the empty bird houses
Like oversized headphones
Playing the crickets’ low buzzy chorus
my heart tunes in
My breath slows, grounding me
Weighted like moss covering the base
of evergreen trees
As the scene shifts
Blurring
My gaze falls on the whites of piano keys
Shifting to the midnight ink shadows
in between
Wondering if our metronome
Is placed next to your head
To keep pace with the beat of my thumping
heart
Synchronizing
Through the distance
To say, rest the mind
Feel it in the soft underbelly
Hold it wholly raw
Touch the gentle curve
nuzzle into the plush flesh of knowing
slowly push into warm liquid silk of
Desires
Fall into a river of emotions
spiritual feeding
until we are
one
