Thank youA Poem by Maryam MottahedehThank you Last night I entered the portal Of your mouth in moisture With so much suction and giving I opened and went All the way to the other side All the way to the wetlands of luster Where the void and hallow mid Was wrapped and engulfed by the treasures of nature Where our bodies spoke in extension Of our flowing hands that communed not long ago On the table whose gifts cultivated so much longing
In this portal there was only one The singularity of passion left behind all irrelevant past All irrelevant future It was just there you and I Naked as the sun wrapped in blue sky Whose other side welcomed every light particle of the crescent moon Whose dreams were amplified with every exchange
You will be gone for weeks, and while I only want to treasure The memory of your jacket on your couch Pressed against my face in wonder was not enough But you, were certainly just right Thank you © 2013 Maryam Mottahedeh |
