A Timeless Birth

I believe that you
existed in me
before this womb, full
of silk fiber hair
and enrobed in fluids
of blood orange and
honey; there is an
unbreakable feel
ing that we have been
born together. I
have seen your image:
a hidden bond, the weight-
lessness of two beings
ascending as one,
shedding all earthly
burdens; two humming
birds bringing gifts of
flowers to each other’s
nest. I knew you forever
