Monday 30 April 2007, Cape Town, South Africa

Back home...

The swish of the doors as they part
to reveal
You

Waiting.

Is that anticipation I see in your eyes?
As they scan the crowded airport hall?

Our eyes lock.
Recognition. Relief. Reanimation
In that instant all thought of time and

distance falls away.

Separation but a fleeting memory.
Connection re-established.
A better connection?

My heart opens up as you flood into
me.
Occupy the spaces in between.
Touch the core, embrace my secret, scared spot
and hold it, soft as a butterfly.

I am home
