"Orbit" - 12/11/2024

Just to be in your orbit even for a handful of days
It was a beautiful unexpected sigh
From the back of the train I could catch glimpses
Of your untrained but accomplished eye 
Catching mine through rows of windows in doors 
Don’t forget me promise me you won’t I’m imagining
Laughter flowing like wine among the worshipful
What could it have been like if you were not so far flung
I was not a lost woman and could allow (for once)
My self to be well and truly found surround sound
Is akin to kissing someone for the first time 
I vaguely remember that sensation of internal
Embers glowing I miss you is it too soon to say 
Your roots are showing and mine are too 
At least a hundred years ago I’m sure we were 
Lovers when the ground was frozen and food was scarce
We took refuge in secret places warmed by love and 
Free (blessedly) from Zeussian doubt
