| Gazing Out, Gazing In 
 (to my lover gazing out the window)
 
 
 
 Because I am here
 
 anchoring you
 
 to the passionate darkness,
 
 you gaze out the window
 
 at the light.
 
 
 
 My love is the thing
 
 that frees you
 
 to follow your eyes,
 
 
 
 as your love,
 
 a sword made of moonlight
 
 and blood,
 
 and smelling of sex
 
 and salt marshes,
 
 frees me to gaze
 
 with a calm inward
 
 eye.
 
 
 
 In all your frenzied searching
 
 you never stood
 
 calmly at the window.
 
 
 
 But now the sea,
 
 the city and the sky
 
 are all seen
 
 as if from a perch
 
 at the edge of the cosmos,
 
 where I sit behind you
 
 gazing
 
 at the fire.
