there are places
where the earth and the heaven
have grinded each other
so long that
you can see from one
into the other;
where you almost can reach through,
touch the other with your fingertips,
almost pierce the
transparent layer between them -
the places where we are born
the places where we return home
places that put us
in the right proportions
windswept islets
at the edge of the restless sea
the silent infinity
under endless stars
and
the place
between someone’s arms
in their unquestioning embrace
that asks nothing
and gives everything
and there, for a moment
all heavens
are
open
