The Great Mirror of Same-Sex Love - Poetry - 87. ...love is two sides of a mountain...

.

Universe

 

The rock

a dove

a part of me.

 

Love is two rocks

on different sides

of the mountain.

 

Sometimes I just like

being with a friend

sharing silence.

 

A few sprinkles of water

a few trees

some blackbirds nesting

And me

in each sprinkle, in each tree

in every blackbird.

—Spoon Jackson,

2010

This is a peaceful and warming poem.  It captures a moment of love in observing silence.

Thank you, Terry. I totally agree. All the more remarkable for Spoon Jackson as he's serving a life term in the California penal system.

I've posted another poem from an incarcerated person as the next chapter. Please check it out
