i do not know where
i end and you begin,
if there is breath
left in me
to breathe you in
so breathe on me so
i may see your face
because i do not know
why one single bite
from an apple
could bring me(&you)
so much disgrace, to make me
feel so wretched that there is
something missing inside
               my ribcage

 

i may not know how you
turn wine to water,
how you hear
everyone’s prayers
despite the fact
that the cup we offer you
               is bitter

 

i may not comprehend the depths
of your name, the principalities of
good and the dominions of evil
sometimes sound the same

 

how everything seems a blur,
like a smudge on a rembrandt painting
and how the frankincense and myrrh
perfume the atmosphere
that one might perceive it
as an authentic caravaggio
amidst the light coming from
the window,
reflecting your shadow

 

because writing poetry
that sometimes rhyme
is all i know

 

because it’s your memory
that i don’t want to let go

 

it begins with a promise,
ends with a kiss

 

though i do not know where
i end and you begin

where you end and i begin

your love is like a virus, quarantined inside my heart ~ yanie

where you end and i begin

the language of roses and rain
