At the intersection
I find you,
smiling out from
that ordinary place,
from that gentle
heart that pumps
the joy of
a life and
sprays it out
to the world.
At the intersection
I see an image
of you,
alive and dead,
reminding me
of loss,
but lifting me
out of the ordinary,
and taking me again
to that smile
that was my joy,
to that burst of life
that saved me,
to that place
in a moment of time
at the intersection.
