I unfold my limbs like
honey
morning drips slowly
saccharine and robin’s egg blue
lazily
I wait for the sun to hit
my eyes
oh I pray
this warmth never leaves
this heat curled up inside
my spine
I pray
this light never leaves
this feeling of
Spring
on the horizon

You hold me
in your arms like the moon
holds
the sky
darkness drapes
silken across my eyes but
your hands demand
I keep my head tilted
to your light
