I have so much of you in me
your atoms mingled with my atoms
cells sitting next to cells
swimming in the water between like guppies
so much air we breathe together
eyes, nose, fingers — all the air between us
the energy that stays, with me, in my memory cells
the cells in my fingernails and hair
blood and toes
all the energy that moves and stays still
the you that stays with me when you walk away
to your car
driving
away in oakland at night
