I am maybe a little religious, but only in that byzantine church in Croatia

Fingers locked together,
Not unlike that romantic affiliation,
But untangled,
Pure, they rest with potential energy,
Cool cathedral limestone.

I am finding my finger nails purple
Over white,
Reflecting that ancient mosaic.
The art on these walls,
Sunken and broken,
Remade, admired again,
Reflect and capture
Little ancient tiles acting on new shoes
And displaced air
And new fingers.

Humid and by the harbor,
The air is one thousand years old,
But it circulates,
And I breath it in and out like any other.

Indefinite

Like the sunset
Captured in a square photograph,
Walking home in worn sneakers
That fit better than anything else, you

Make the world yours,
Each space transformed from minor to
major,
Words and silence dancing
To the strumming of your guitar.

Here, are blue-green mirrors
And careful drawings,
And unrestrained joy, teary-eyed and honest.
