Nothing and Everything
You told me I was nothing
And I laughed.
I suppose I misunderstood.
+++
I remember how you and I
Held each other naked against the cold,
Clawing, gasping for breath
And in that moment finding nothing
At the same time.
+++
When we awoke, everything gleamed.
Everything in all off its wondrousness.
Everything, everything, everything.
+++
Because you were nothing to me, too.
