To meet someone 

And to know them

Really get to know them

sitting behind a waterfall

With heavy walls

descending

between

And you

Are a mystery

On the other side 

of a global torrent

Of prolonged separation

Sitting with your own demons

And being washed in cycles of your truth

 

I’ll meet you on the shore

After being slammed on the rocks

Like laundry

Like a stone

sea-tumbled and rounded

And hungry for something smooth

 

And in this moment

I want to know you
