Faraway

We sit, lotus
midnight to dawn
love the light in your eyes
fall into your smile
your face, so close, lost
in your warmth
look, and it's you
fall into you, with you
your earth, your sky
fall into your smile
your face, so close, don't move
look, your eyes, your sky

The bedroom curtains
are always open
all night
watch the stars

This morning
if you wish
close them
que sera sera
close them

I open the door
to the dirty room that never gets cleaned
no light, airless, and you are there
among the other shadows

Like me, you'll never be sure
who is who, not when it's dark
You'll get it wrong
slipping, raw, forgotten
