the sweet us;
nurtured week after week
by each of our own sweet hearts
we were sanctified
doused in holy water
priestess-anointed,
sweetly appointed
to transcribe the meaning of love
into the future,
fiercely
and at the end,
like a mist
you each evaporated before me
you disintegrated like stardust,
floated up into the starlit sky
and god graced me
kneeling in the leaf litter,
arms and heart open,
you did not fly away.
instead, the vaporous you,
the misty us,
the great feminine sisterhood,
all that divine love,
flew into my gaping mouth
thirst-quenched,
heaven-sent
i'm holding on to your
magnificence
