The Escape,
by Remedios VaroThe Return
after The Escape by Remedios Varo
The two of us, me in azure blue,
you in your earthy brown
connected in ways even we cannot discern
colors melting together
looking ever forward
I hold our ancient heart in my hand
September's turning leaves support us
time's breezes quicken and whirl
quickly we near our mountain home
the long journey nearly complete
seeking only to lay
our heads together once again.
