DOUBLE DELIGHT

for Jay Bunker

there is only and always

the opening

petal

after petal

the doubling of love

and its perfume

the journey

and the healing

the kiss, the candle

the rose

the bodies

casting the circle

and the message

inside the circle

my story’s our story

I travel for us 

that has us

simultaneously see

we are all citizens

of spring

wild, awake 
and aware

of our own 

inflorescence.
