last time I looked
last time I looked
you were breathing
inside the sheltered space
that is my heart
rustling
like soft wings
inside a nest
last time I looked
you were clinging
outside the ragged shell
that is my heart
riding
on whistling
hurricane winds
last time I looked
you were spreading
determined roots
into the scattered earth
that is my heart
rising, growing
falling like petals
opening again

I've read this several times and enjoyed shifting the perspective, looking at it in different ways as to who the "you" and the "I" might be. Other/self or even self/self... thanks, it's lovely any way.
mb--Wow...I'm impressed...it certainly can be seen more than one way--you're so perceptive to think of this!
