isobars

 somewhere on this trip
 along uncertain coastlines
 i forgot what my body couldn't do

 and when the sun fell
 through heavy curtains
 you forgot what your mind didn't know

 the change that came over me
 imperceptible as the shifting seasons
 so bright in its power and glory

 and the change that came over you
 formidable as a field of wild flowers
 with no need for divine intervention

 so when the storm hit
 there was nothing to lock
 and no one to save

 and when the storm passed
 we were still two
 witnesses to the other's change
