and for her to have her tongue on his
to taste the breath of what had become of hers
was to query again what life it had created
to request a return to their initial connection

what years she passed had left her higher
had left her above the clouds of wonder
so far beyond a need for doubt or confusion

an amber recollection of what had been
in glassy filters as young as they all once were

through her lips
she spoke in tongue
of what might bring resolution to youth
to save him the trials ancestors had known
