Another Yes


The debate is over.

Where are the roots of reality? What magic do they
draw upward into the sensible muchness

of feathers and pines and the scent of
autumn in your hair?

Nothing but what we see and say aloud,
make believe, “Let there be…”

With a thought and a word we created
a life together, you and I.

Another set you free to name yourself,
to be a self, not a wholly owned subsidiary.

I believed you would keep watch while
I dreamed, and you have. You do.

Every night ash buries the cities we build,
and every morning we sweep them clean again

with another yes.
