It could be called Variations on Love,
how we find each other again
and again,
in different modes and phases,
nearness teased out of growth’s grinning desire
to story and multiply, to bring lives
into exquisite sync
and pulse—
This, our starstruck compass
and calling,
to find each other again
and again,
in waves of liminal enclosure.
