you love me as you love
yourselfmaybe even
a little lessisn’t that
bliss?
* * *
fill my cup
once you’ve filled yours
or soon
we’ll both
be thirsty* * *
your first touch
melts a wall
inside mehow would it be
to feel this warmth
without you?
I found you in a house
Wrapped tightly in coarse wool blankets
The winds of an open plane
Buffeting these pine-wood shingles
Shuddering
With the breath of an overwhelming GodI looked into your eyes and saw a boy
Stalking the planes
Putting flint to steel
Dragging a sled with the breadth
Of his honey pot torsoTogether we walk the banks of this river
Your hand in mine
I feed you scraps of meat and dried fruit
Your regale me with stories of men and women
I’ve never metAnd as we make our way through gullies and forests
Meadows and mountain
Beside us the river flows
As it does
Patiently waiting for us to step in
And float away
Just me and you
