So We See

So we see
each other
on the night of the wind
that howls around us
and tints the mesa
across the river
a even tawnier brown
than usual
against
the valley
below
that grows greener
with each day.
Spring underway.
Whole worlds in your
green eyes
as real as
caliche,
as budding chamisa -
and alive.
And I think that maybe
for the first time
I know what all that
really means,
I understand,
there
in the growing
darkness
and fine,
blowing sand.
