to explain wonder

it is after watching
the first basketball game
i could make it to this season,
and his team lost, and
he is disappointed, and
how can i explain
                             
                                 that that loss was
nothing, nothing short of amazing--and
i am in awe of his grace and
confidence and mind and
body moving in synchronicity--in awe of
how he can see all that is

happening around himself and
perform those miracles in
perfect focus. and that
it was such
a beautiful loss.  and i
am blessed by him, but can't explain

we are lying

this is our bay of night
the afternoon sun
our inked out sky
the pillows pulled
and spiraled sheets
and we are lying
on the floor
of desire
