This is my heart that sings

on
In one of my previous lives
you were the salt in the palm of my hand,
bread on my table,
wine on lips.

In one of my previous lives
you were a comrade in the battle
an ambush shot,
blood on my hands. 

In my previous life
you were a lonely planet
a meteor in my orbit,
a comet born out of a starburst.

If you listen carefully between breaths,
If I listen between heartbeats,
that is your heart that sings
this is my heart that sings.
