lightning strikes
twenty five stories high
he wonders if she too feels the coming storm
___
you calm me
he whispers
through the half dawn of early
it stormed all night
and you were here
nestled in the pause between light and sound
resting your head on my chest
listening to my heart
____
she holds his hand between her own
traces square nail beds
runs a finger along his life lines
____
he says contentment
and she nods
recognizing herself in the soft drape of his word
in the language of his desire
