everything

you are the sun, bursting in yellow joy
white heat, into a final fury
of crimson blaze

i am a memory of the moon
a distant remnant of the farthest star
blending into darkness

you are a majestic oak, sturdy
fists punching the white mists of the big sky
the central spectacle in an elaborate landscape

i am a dandelion, a tumbleweed
pirouetting up, down, round and about
blown by a breath, twirling

i dance to your words
bottled in lilting notes
taken in cups of luxuria by strangers

you wear my roughly sewn burlap
of random ideas and disorganized thoughts
read in the patches and stitches

you are who i want to be with,
if not who i want to be

i am the one who gives sense to you
i magnify you.

you are everything
and i---
i am everything else.
