Origami

I am your crane

Your peacock

Your rose

 

I lie still and naked before you

Awaiting delicate bends

Those weathered hands

Push hard against me

From end to end

I am happy to succumb

 

The folds run deep, my love

I cannot escape them

Like the battle scars of warriors

I wear them with pride

With each crease

I faintly whisper your name

Can you hear the subtle cries?

They are all for you now

 

I cannot see the end

As I know you can

But it has never mattered

As I am nothing without you

And everything with you

Your crane

Your peacock

Your rose
