The eyes, lips;

the way they open
meet
is written in stars
glimmering fragments of
a wider comprehension
effortlessly spread
across the dome
resting over the world.

So it seems to me
as I try not to tremble
as I see you
and you looking at me.

I sense the force of the universe
that brought us together
and gave us so few clues
for how we might endure
its sublime presence.
