Two cities

•

I carry the air of two cities

In my two lungs.

My skin is warm from the sun

In a single sky;

White, cloudy, aloof.

My love is angry with me

I left her in a city

I am in another.

In between lie our promises;

Trees in pliant warm soil-

Green, then black

Like this entire universe

With no shine of their own

No shine at all.
