&quot;We are reading the story of our lives<br /> as though we were in it,<br /> as though we had written it&quot;<br /> <br /> -Mark Strand


My eyes are closed.
My breath flutters
across the pavement
of a well-known street.

I have been here
since the beginning
of time.

I have not dared
to open my eyes;
but I see your eyes.

Your eyes are my eyes.

One. Step. Closer—
across the eternal inch—
and my body
would be your body

As my hand
is your heart
and my_____
is your...

No, though; we are still
waiting
wondering
who will
(Who will move first?)

Be still.
Close your eyes
and fall toward me—
fall into me—

As I have fallen
since the beginning
of time.
