I sense a softer us

Feel it in my bones

Like a memory

Something I’ve always known

and want so deeply to re-remember.

Re-kindling its warmth within my hips

Re-connecting the fibrous veins of our stems where they’ve come unattached.

Allowing space for the heavy wet of your petals to fall alongside the back of mine.

Don’t you see?

There’s always been room for us both .
