this song is the slow burn
of fire through your veins, it's
the long glance across the room
that send you tumbling straight
into the unplumbed depths
of her eyes, it is exactly
the feeling in the pit of your stomach
when he turns and smiles
right at you, rustling forests
you were unaware you had,
until flocks of birds take off,
filling your insides with fluttering
wings, and nothing but their song
will come out, when you open your mouth.
