Stranded
—language barrier Jean-Luc and Bluey (future adult selves)
I see you so excited
Your colors look like mine, flipped around and shadowy and perfect, reversed and voluminous and dreamy
Your voice hits my heart
Like a symphonic melody
We are so excited
We build a fort of mud and sticks and rocks
I am so excited
You take my hand
We are free
Mixed emotions are carrying us
As I speak instructions your understanding follows yours hands, carrying the order like a telepathic link
You are free
I see you carry your orders with exact detail,
So precise with the way your hands build up, up, up
And I cannot let myself feel the time slip away
We are one.
If we couldn’t see it before,
We could have been stranded
So apart
So alone
So far away,
But here we are,
The barrier is invisible
Our new language is similar to what I once felt in my dreams,
A new sort of home,
Stranded is there,
With you
And we are dreaming about it,
And Bluey, I’ll be there waiting for you.
