here with you
I am
home.

the palms of my hands are itching:
astonished, I watch

as their life lines
grow stronger -

I place my palms against each other,
and a glow is growing in between them,
condesing into
a private sun

light pouring
from between my fingers
like the heat
of my memories -

all this
I’ll bring to you
as soon as you come -

I’ll place these hands
on your cool brow.
