There is
a presence
to you,

in everything
that you
do.

a scent
a celebration

a baptism
in holding
you.

and loving
you under
this pelican

cloud night.

the spooning
of our
bodies
into one.

the melting
of our
flesh
over
each other's
bones.

the martyr
of each other's
souls

to what
we were
before.

and timeless

we lie
naked
in our
trust.

black to
the night.

light to
the coming

dawn.
