Here Again

a poem about reincarnation

I found a wilderness in-between your words: 
somewhere between here and now.

I discovered the lives you lived without me - 
stretching long, and slow, between the hills of your shoulders.

I tugged at the vines that crept 
over your rocky wrists.

I pulled the rings off my fingers and slipped them over the chicory blooms
beneath your eyes.

And I lost my way 
somewhere between never and again.
