you are everything i’ve never known
and i’ve never been
one for asking questions

but i plumb your oceans
discovering depths
that are worthy of wonder

you are the only thing i’ve been glad to know

they say 
don’t drown

as though you weren’t a resurrection
they don’t recognize perfecting

i am only things they’ve never known

you chart my skies 
like questions aren’t weapons
you plot my points 

like i’m a story that wasn’t written wrong
where my shade of blue meets yours
is an island

we are more than all we’re only beginning to know
