i Once I asked a woman to make a home out of me, asked her to put both anchor & aches upon my shore offered her this heart & body — a mooring post Home for the wanderer. But you can only still a child of the wind for a single moment, (the god-man said it best, the breeze it blows wherever it wishes) what a moment it was — and what a rebirth. ii An awakening. an opening of blind eyes and searching tongues to discover: A woman Women. That the love of a woman — of women is sacred holy worthy of reverence and worship. iii And then there’s you. You are new and iridescent a composite made up of mainly questions and assumptions the not yet an answer in and of itself and this, whatever it is, it is curiously exciting. It is sliding doors, an exchange a window into what could be a kaleidoscope realm of possibilities. You, you remind me that a community can be formed with two people. That Love, it makes us fat — full of satisfaction & contentment. As an indulgence we evolve expand to cover each other, to explore our truest selves. We are our own floor-length mirrors and what a reflection!
