Conjoined

words that filter through the night 

slip in softly like a mist 

glowing with supernal light 

make my soul feel like it’s kissed 

my spirit recognized you 

it spotted you before I did 

our communion is not new 

our secrets refusing to stay hid 

we fold together you and I 

like an ethereal origami 

and even if you did not try 

your essence paid the price and bought me 

you penetrate me with a breath 

our bodies are each other’s homes 

and some day when I rest in death 

they’ll find your name etched on my bones
