when we finally came together
after I
understood and defeated
my demons
her voice sounded relieved
at last
after all this time
you have found the black box
and it showed you the reason
which made things crash and burn
you have destroyed them

I said yes
through you
I have discovered
in my old age
a new way of looking at things
and through you every
glance at the world around you will be
a sort of salvation
