Heaven

Heaven is ...

Lying hidden
in a sleeping flower
Holding another soul's
feet
tightly
in all my own,
as they hold mine.

Both covered
in a gravelly blanket of
pollen-dust,
fast asleep without ever
having to close
our eyes.
Seeing only inward, until
the sun rises.

Heaven is ...

Sound in both ears.
Only a heartbeat and the warm sound of
blood rushing on,
in
one.

Mostly a voice,
as you
rise & fall
with the breathing between
thoughts,
in
the other.

Ears,
so full
that they overflow to your heart
and fill it up to your eyes
and lashes
and all of your love
flows out of you
through your hands
and lips
so that you are empty

to fill up again with only
sound
still coming in through both your
ears.

Heaven.
