We're Getting There

Falling asleep in your arms
woman's body
                   (my body)
man's body
                   (your body)

Are we happy?

Standing at the stove
checking in
                  (with each other)
checking in
                  (with our senses)

Are we temporary?

Speaking in the night
minds alighting
                   (in conversation)
eyes alighting
                   (in silent spaces)

Are we true?

Our bodies fitting as one
naked, tensing
                   (sighing)
intimate, liberating
                   (gasping )

Are we making love?
