You
have power over me
because you remind me
of so many others
now absent
beneath the lillies
finding it hard to grow
in this eternal swelter
You
have power over me
because your eyes have
Asian folds like my grandmothers
and your chest-bone protrudes
like a baby bird
searching for her meal
an orphan aspect in your
misplaced gaze, as if
you have wandered off
among the dappling trees
You
have power over me
because I laid down my mistrust
and picked up the book of your life
staying long enough to catch mid-day sun
we now share a time that cannot
be untraveled, unwound
it lies, a permanence, in the journeyed lines
of my palm
and when I hold my hand against
light, I can see, along with veins and sun-spots
the part of you
I carry
There are those we hold, have held, so close and dear so long that part of them is embedded thus in our own being.
