with you I watch the world
and make merry with the thorns that grow upon it
with you I can stretch out
and reach myself to all four corners of infinity
with you there is room for change
but room also for the past
with you I am warm and cold and fast and alone
wrapped in your arms but held by my own
with you one shadow splits
and curves like a long lean cat across the earth
with you I am put to rest
and every morning I wake to you still
with you I am ever alone
but I have never been lonelier as I am when we’re alone together
with you I am whole
and all my body parts are your body parts
with you I am infinite
and I will follow you, because I was made to be
with you.
