2 x 10 is ONE

they call the beginning
falling
in love––

afterwards, it is
being
in love
that matters––

being deeply
in love––

love
like the sky
that planets
circle
& clouds
explore––

the sky
that contains
the universe
in all its
ONE-ness––

just like
our two-ness
is ONE-ness––

the way
you disappear
into my arms

& the way
i vanish
into your
smile.
