Our bodies are mountains made up of sheets
Contagious and constantly swirling
I couldn’t hear much but the hum of the fan
The kitchen floor’s cold and I want to go home
If it rains tomorrow I swear that I’m gone
Driving the streets the snow melts on
You don’t have to repeat what you said
It sent chills down my spine the first time
“I hope you forget me when I die”

Pine cones fall every day
Morning dew comes and goes away
You’ll live either way
People change every day
Mocking birds come and fly away
I’ll remain either way
I want you coming out my nose
When I laugh spilling out my mouth
Part of me partly you
Grafted on bearing fruit
In the evening light
You looked a thousand miles high
In the morning glow
I looked a million years old
You read my letters out to me
In the coolness of the morning
And pressed your ring against my lips
In soothing conversation
Save yourself a slip of the tongue
Let your glance imply it
If something ever should go wrong
Later then deny it
When they pull the marble from the water
Will they call us lovers?
Unashamed I say your name—
Alexander—to my mother

Drowsy light falls into my eyes
Like waking from a dream
These memories come back to me:
I used to see angels in my backyard
Moving through the trees
Their voices were comforting
Floating to the train tracks
On the ridge of the mountain
We bobbed like the robins
In puddles around us
Like pine needles caught in the cracks of the sidewalk
The rain made them glisten
The rain made a river
Then I walked alone
To the edge of the pond
I saw visions in the water
And returned with eyes cast down
I saw warm yellow light dripping
Darkness in the East rising up
Consumed by the Spirit
