BY AUDREY WEISBURD
we are far too tangled to turn into strangers.
if you get too close to another person,
to another soul
so close you feel cosmically intertwined
so close that you skydive into the soul,
we are far too fused to grow foreign
we are far too embedded to feel lonely
in our aloneness
I will wipe our blood on every
poem I write
in every story I craft,
find your name in the subtleties
please, tiptoe too close
tie cherry stem knots
in my heart
weave in and out
of my little life
bury yourself in my corners
profound human connection
forms new language from scratch
giving life to a new energy
that could never be destroyed
a part of us will always remain
interlocked
through our bondage
and peaceful sleeps
late night talks into
indigo skies,
in every person I love after you
you will be loving them too
your footprints
all over my bones
your tracks
run so deep in my flesh
I can still feel your air
in my lungs
