It remains to be seen-- The resolution of this Thing Between you and I. Around corners I glimpse it: The very possibility of something Beyond this limbo of what was, and what is. I am unafraid, but wary, uncertain Of what encircles these coming days, Whether it be noose or dream-- It is not for me to know. But could I free my heart, disentangle What was done, swallowed, and spoken-- I would not; it would be a dishonor To the memory of things that cannot be Touched. But in your eyes, there is the Rosetta Stone For every inaudible heartbeat within me, And in the world, now, where we clash In torrents of unaccustomed (dis)grace, I wonder at the fabric of belonging, Contemplating charities that I have no leave to give. But still, it remains to be seen-- This allusion to grace, And the possibility of forgiving it all. |
