Here We Are! Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Here we are
standing in the same room

as each other.

Gasp!

Breathing in the same air!

We hanging
on each other’s every word.

We drinking in
each other’s every thought.

The room
filling up with words & thought & feelings

until there is not
enough room

for us all

and we are squashed against the ceiling

unable to say
another word.

Speechless.

I mange to float across the room &
open a window

and we float free
into a starless sky

leave the room behind
full to the brim

with words & thoughts & feelings

while we

pin ourselves
to the night sky

the only two stars
in all that Heaven.
