you met me last night
you’re a father now
and a husband
these new fields
you love the overgrown
lands outside the city
you’re a wonderer
and I wondered
I travelled the night
and found you
passing the tests of grace
I recognised you
sitting on the floor
with your wife and child
and a simple affection
stole me
I touched your hand
and found your eyes kind
like the first time
how did you find me? you ask
I didn’t, I answer
night time gives us paths
and our dreams follow them
like they were our palms
