So you don’t have to wonder
I wrote these words while inside of you
And like Atlas my world was above me
Though not held on my shoulders
But rather atop my thighs

Yet unlike the world we now spin on
That land was all moan and flesh
Those mountains were soft and not rough
Those waves were pink and not blue

Do you think Noah could’ve
Overcome this ocean cascading from the sky?
Am I stupid or smart for wishing
Your storm upon me everyday?

So you don’t have to wonder
I would drown every day
Just to see you come

I would have
Like Medea
Cut my brother into pieces and
Scattered his remains

I would have
Like Cronus
Eaten my own
Children

I would have
Like Icarus
Flown toward the sun
With waxed wings

I would have
Like Sisyphus
Pushed the boulder
Up the hill forever

I would have
Like Prometheus
Stolen the gods’
Fire

I would have
Like Ajax
Fallen upon
My own sword

I would have
If only you had
Crossed a puddle
For me.

I find nirvana
Looking into your eyes
Over easy
Voluminous skies
Each time
Revisiting
A place
Beyond here, beyond me
In your gaze
You dismantle time
Always a new day begins; always I’m home
