The voyage out
Like sipping a good wine, caressing velvet, softly drawing the contour of a face in the shadows of a dim-lit room…that is how we are being born outside ourselves and into one another. I unravel you slowly, peacefully, in tune with a melody neither of us has heard before. Awakening, I said that to you the morning after we first kissed. We are awakening to each other, piece by piece. I feel you, fragmented and whole, in the body I can only imagine and sense. The wait only enhances the pleasure of our own discovery. Everything that went before you has been a journey worth of its destination. You, the port where I find my unity, the name I have grown into, the woman I love.
