We cut our ties and flew inside the arcs
And curves of white blue skies;
And slipping off our shadow selves,
Uncurling, newborn, rose and fell -
Light moving through the air,
Beyond the boundaries of bones and flesh,
Naked as an empty day and cool as raven night.
The storms we caused to be
On those swelling, dancing, clawing tides
Were set in motion by our deep
And formless words alive with heat.
Sanguine and silent now,
And moving on to who knows where,
Lying languid in each others arms
We glimpse of life beyond ourselves -
Spirit-like, Ariel,
Naked as an empty day and cool as raven night.
