Common Ground
Miracles are real. I've found.
they don't just stand sedately by the door, knock politely, no they soar
in with a gust of wind, they sweep you off your feet they hound
your every step so there is not a woman on earth who could ignore
that you stand on common ground.
Another world, another life, another age, or page of the book, but still
he may be you inside, it leaves me terrified that look in your eyes that I know is in mine
standing on common ground.
Easier to quietly read novels in the dark, living invisible lives that no one shares
than to dare into that blinding day, the piercing searchlight of being understood
on common ground
