Falling In Love
Dreaming of you keeps me asleep.
Being with you keeps me alive.
I so rapidly leave the past behind: a sunset,
the shriek of gulls. You are a presence in my day,
my step is surer on the sidewalk when I know
you’re near. And if you go away for the season,
I dream of you and am always with you. My body
has become your map—I have traced my way along it
a thousand times before, though I never knew
exactly where to find you until I touched your eyes.
