Anew
The world has turned grey in your absence and feels
as if I will remain blind to all of its brilliant hues for as long
as we’re required to be apart—for the foreseeable future.
When this is all over—when I do see you again, I know
this dormant fire coiled in my bones will set us ablaze.
When we reunite, our kisses will be sweeter than our first kiss.
When we get together, our love will be even more ravenous,
even more demanding, even more essential than before,
and we will desire and be desperate to become reacquainted.
When I see you again, it will be like my soul has returned
to the water, and once again I have been made anew.
When I see you again, every part of me that came from
the dust of dead stars will be alive again.
