A memory of Iceland.

FOR SAM

and when the sea birds declared
the wonder of waters
falling to satisfy
a final gravity,
how could i feel
anything other than
bliss,
the blueberries surrounding me
to bear witness to my joy,
and the cliffside
became my cathedral.

To be finally accepted.

To be held. To be received.

How many of us long to be known.

Hana once dreamed of a riverside path, a tentative touch from behind, and a stranger’s long embrace. His not-letting-go was burned in memory, and this dream has become a lasting part of who she is.

FOR HANA

and then arms held
what i was never able
to hold —

the breath moving
through lungs as one,
the rise and fall
of ribcages

and muscles
enmeshed
taking the shape
of each other —

and for the first time,
i chose to stay,
chose to be still
and not step away,

this first belonging
something that i could
finally
receive.
