All is fair as long as you don't tell
Anyone what the rules are
Like how your eyes can change
Like the sea - so fast, so strange, so
Frighteningly beyond what can be known
Through these dim lamps.
Or how with a whisper your voice
Can quiet noonday cities
And shame songbirds into silence
But give back life and hushed lovers' laughter
To nights the moon and stars forsook.
There are no rules for such things
For they are experienced only in moments
That aren't really moments at all
To know them
To know you
Is only to witness the aching beauty
That follows in your wake.
