Dónall Dempsey - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' 'THIS ONLY NOW

We appeared
in the turned off T.V screen

our reflections
moving like shadows

in a lost dimension
of another world.

Outside was nothing
but Summer

innocently happening
to itself.

Everything in our years
compelling us to this

kiss

as if all life
was just this

single second

Each molecule of you
blossoming into each molecule of me

until there was
no me no you no more

just this
coming together

as if our lives
unravelled backward

to our very first
beginnings

then once again
thrusting itself forward

each of us a sperm
rushing blindly to an egg

to fashion
this Future

that is this only
... Now.
