replete with custard
stains
newly arranged
in marriages and on carpets
humble love
is courageous
love
love that is proud
love that is loud
love that dares to dream
dreams of spirit
and soulful matter
you are power
and repentance
i am falling
i am longing
i am a flower in the night
you are purple
as a panther
as the poet
as the keeper of the secrets
you are a dancer
on the world’s shoulder
in silent circles you make love to me
have you considered crushing
all this dinner
and letting winter
take its time
