lover carrots

deep in the soil,
in the darkness,
earthness
you were born
once
upon a time
in separate places.
even then,
before you knew
of your own existence
and each other's
you began reaching out,
growing closer.
with every pass of the sun
through a sky you could not see
your bodies stretched slowly
towards a beloved presence
beyond.
with every wax and wane
of the moon
your longing grew stronger,
still nameless
formless
movement in mud,
until,
until,
until
your skins suddenly touched
in the black beneathness,
and you discovered
a perfect familiarity apart,
a bright beseeching
an invisible dance
eyes closed
deeply knowing
just when and how to be
as one.
