You were a river I jumped in and tried to find the plumb bottom of your depths But I found that you were not just a river and had an ocean connected underneath Teeming with life Punctuated with caverns of air Like on the top of the mountain we hiked to and sat on together Or the cheap small room we shared while traveling poorly but enjoyably through Eastern Europe But some Caverns were too small to even fit our bodies inside They were only large enough for our heads With our heads close enough together to see the one or two stray strands of your hair on your forehead To feel your heartbeats in your breath. |
