nectar poem

Do you remember when we divided ourselves into two？

Like cell division of the soul we went away from our nucleus into the

restless night of shadow and solitary hearts.

Do you remember when we first remained outside of our soul？

When gravity shouted us apart like wounded angels leery of mortality？

Do you remember when we clutched these other worlds

gathering time and bodies like a river gathers debris after a storm？

Our longing for the other never diminished

though our soul was muted by time.

Do you remember when we first saw ourselves separate

like young twins peering before a startled mirror？

You told me that〝All between us is illusion－an entrance into hunger.

A journey into God.〞

Do you remember our first reunion when our bodies collapsed

in a single shadow drenching light from our soul？

Our hunger destroyed，splaying time like fingers

opening a tunnel between earth and all that is between us.

And when we looked again we were two bodies

arranged like feathers of a single wing.

Do you remember me as you when our wings became footprints

and the weight of words our terrestrial cage？

You told me,〝Never is light caged as long as we remember us.〞

I remember you pure and powerful like a lightening flash;

a solar breath given by God to remind me
