Your Body is so New

Your body is so new

Where did you find it?

And how did you find this place?

I can taste your words and hear the sounds

Of time opening the window to the day.

Bold shadows stretch you across the room

Sparrow light and wing movement

Dark flash on grey cloud

Awaken and breathe

Alive on fire

Caress the morning

Air that glides around you as we walking

Touch

Crisp air tightly wrapped ‘round trees

Crisp air still hears you

Seeing sunlight for the first time

Air still bringing rain

And afternoons still remaining locked in time

And to see

To feel air that is

Moist

Revealing.
