ONE

Jedidiah Bird

The light reflects off your breasts like twin moons
ascending to their throne
then gliding gracefully down again to slumber
The rhythm of your breath is like the eternal tides
rising and falling with a hypnotic regularity
high then low, rise then fall
My gaze is steadfast and unwavering
I soak in your movements
enraptured by your breath
until my body matches yours in this rhythm
We are one
