Poem of my life

How do we come to be here next to each other  
in the night
Where are the stars that show us to our love  
inevitable
Outside the leaves flame usual in darkness  
and the rain
falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh  
the black men waiting on the corner for  
a womanly mirage
I am amazed by peace
It is this possibility of you
asleep
and breathing in the quiet air..............
