REUNION

Not sure what I expected
maybe something hard
awkward walls and doors
spaces that could not be crossed.

It was something different
easy light open spaces
warm delicious.

He’s still the only man
who walks into a room and
stops my heart.
He’s still the only man
powerful enough to send
messages from my heart
to all the lower regions,
excite me to the core.
There are still the conversations
and things to learn.

There is the moment
this one moment.
It is enough.
