Opening to you

Opening to you by small degree -

unfolding,

revealing,

discovering;

each day new born

in the eye of the other:

more known,

but unknown;

more understood,

but intriguing;

more sharing,

but exposing -

as each the other

we undress.

and then lost

Sitting, waiting for my life to change -

an airport lounge

an arrivals board

times of landing

delayed

delayed

delayed

wondering

questioning

watching

people

cases

bags

luggage

faces

faces

faces

then from behind the steam of bodies

one face both know and not known,

but to be known -

and then lost.
