I am not questioning

why the scribbles on my tongue
the message in your hand
lie briefly warring

you know it, and now, I know it
how we pin these colors
to our chests

where they flap like alive things
startling us--for we'd forgotten
we're never alone  

even in these gold-shouldered woods
when our souls are like tiny ghosts
slowing       unstoppable
