Does love start with the self?
loving it enough to let it choke
gulping sweet air into its lungs
Or does it begin with conception?
finding yourself inside
the cavernous pupil of a lover
always one degree and two lips
of separation between you
and yourself
with embryonic love
growing in the fleshy matrix.
