I, a steal heroine
shielded
by past sorrow
imprisoned by
cuffed misogyny
Softened by you
Just. One. Palm. Holds. Face
All silver and sharpened divider
Erased
skin and tangled hair
no longer armored
Every tear drenched pore
Effaced
I stand bare,
happily unbuckled with love
Pillars shudder at our words
Pointless,
they melt
Surrendering to
The noncompete
of your shoulders
They hold my daughter to the stars
Her head crowned in light
your hands stable small ankles
She is released too
Golden Gates moan
Great Walls invite
Cordially wait for RSVP's
Nets and hooks and barriers all succumb
to you and I
thriving as two and loving as one
We are
moon ocean currents
ancient stone arches
pink chalk on black hot asphalt
stained huckleberry fingers
We are more than love
We are the pulse
of our lives
I will never harden again
