Love
I love you.

I love you not because of your body, your words or you mind. I love you because of your eternally shining soul. We are as two stars, light glowing together. The light is what I love.

I love our light.

I

bound fists
with
palms turned upwards
holding fast to
time and
life and
breath and
I and
I and
I and

what is I?
is I
song dancing from lips?
ink flowed between lines?
my home my job my broken bike?

is my I within vessels?
contained and controlled?

is I what is felt?
every cut every bruise?
marks upon body?

or is I tied to mind?
hopes sorrow
joy
death

expectation

is my I even mine?
