YOU AND I
Cynthia Alexander


on the island of my senses 
U have lost your shape 
the shadow of leaves fallen 
a bed of limbs in stalemate 
a crash of muted waves 
in diminishing dimension 

but last night in black & white 
a dream of lovers' eyes 
a song on an old phonograph 
a moving photograph of 
U & I 

sometimes in the dusk 
when the sky bleeds certain shades 
the color in between us 
is the sky that binds us 
never-ending you 
begin on & on & on 
I only know 
U are for real 

but last night in black & white 
a dream of lovers' eyes 
a song on an old phonograph 
a moving photograph of 
U & I
