Waker of the Wind

sometimes you would just know
when something wasn’t right
with me.
maybe it was on my face
or maybe you just understood my heart.

sometimes I would just know
when something wasn’t right
with you.
maybe it was on your face
or maybe I just understood your heart.

a connection like that
is completely incompatible
with the way they say you should live,
isn’t it?

sometimes you meet someone
and you have more intimacy with that person
in the mere span of moments
than you ever did spending years
on someone else.

i really don’t know
if there is any going back to sleep
after being awakened
in that way.
