the wind carries your name to me
a suggestion
a question
a noticing
this poetic potential in the field between us
we have been before

my mind travels to another time
long before this state of collapse
outside of this era of fascism
a time when we bathed in the sea
climbed the bluffs
made love on the moss in the afternoon
braided each other’s hair
sang to the trees and to the waters and to each other
danced beneath expanse of night sky

the wind carries your name to me
a familiar sound
like the rush of hawk wings
an upward lift
a breath of release

my mind moves into the future
spelling moments into possibility
practicing manifestation
singing in the streets
our paths orbiting a lemniscate
extending
embracing
exchanging
rhythm and flow
bodies shimmering with summer heat
we find safety and belonging
only with each other
only in mutual aid
circles of reciprocity
in moments of shared breath
shared heart beats
