i know a heaven

may you dream of a heaven worth knowing
he wrote me as one day dissolved into the next
but does he know i already know that heaven?
in the curve of his collarbone
the river veins of his palms
the sweet agave of his laugh
the soft spring of his curls

I see God in between the sheets
a terrestrial dream, here awake
with the clouds resting above not below
so when i reach, i can feel their silk
i feel a divinity, a blessing, an eternity
as i feel you in this heaven you've shown me
