He Fills the Window

about

Love Song from "Threnody for a Forgotten Plague", work-in-progress dealing with the early days of the AIDS pandemic, specifically the fracturing of voices which literally and emotionally occurs during any such outbreak throughout time: the medical, political bureaucracy vs. the voices of humans fighting for their health and well being.

lyrics

He Fills the Window

like a bath, reflections
spreading, but still
quite there.
I like to know
he can hold those contours
even when just standing
watering plants or looking
out, not even touching
what becomes a throne.
I like to know
there's this one slot
in the universe
for him especially, neither
one of them owning
the other but
forming a relation
spatial &, somehow,
very close
