awaken love in me
gently. fallible.
spontaneous.
alive.
laying beneath the sense of each
word is the armistice
of mind versus heart
of body versus stillness
of sound versus silence
of distance versus proximities.
this long-winded gasp of breath
holding on to gravitas
keeping things in their
designations.
or this desperate hum of quietude
yearning to be noticed,
concealed in immense portage
flowing to be bequeathed
to cupped hands and touch
a face callow. mild. tender.
like water falling again
and again in repetitions
memorized - permitting
desire to utter plainly rendering love's easy, breakable structures.
