Hearts on a line

Sometimes, when I'm alone in my room, 
I think I hear the distant beep of my cell phone 
and I hope that it's you, 
in these hours the whole town falls, 
missing me.  
Because I miss you. 

Sometimes, I get caught up in 
this unpredictable romance, 
this poetry of it all- 
both our hearts, on a single vein-
a clothesline between two trees,
rooted, yet free, riding the breeze. 

Sometimes, when the earth is still 
for just a moment, 
it all makes sense- it comes on often, 
in these in-between hours
when I faintly smell your amber
and find your sparkles in my sheets.

Sometimes, I realize the truth is
that I love you (for exactly who you are)
and I don't know how or why
it happened, but it happened
or what pull broke us and brought us
to us- but I love us- 
(in our uncanny, sensual, lived ways)

And I love who I am with you.
