Sitting with Marina
She sat, waiting for the next
rubbed her eyes
and then she was ready
I sat with no expectations
or true understanding
heart
racing at first
then calmed, then enmeshed
Not spiritual, but spirit
not love, but devoted
not separate, not whole
leaving the place we were
for a moment, or more
our attention was on nothing else
our focus, eye to eye
deep into the soul of me
deeper into understanding*
