I never asked you to love me
it was simpler than that
~
to wake into dreaming
cross lines that aren’t there
feel gravity’s holding
move in your own way
that was all I asked
for you
~
love would have followed
the songlines of flesh
that exist and than smolder
without singular breath
until dormant
this –> “the songlines of flesh”

Thanks Stacy…
“Songlines” comes from Australian Aboriginal cosmology. Each person of a clan can and will literally “sing” the land terrain of the path their ancestors took upon entering this world, as they go walk about retracing this emergence. Seemed a fitting metaphor for real intimacy.
