kiss the love into my bones,
manifest your heartbeats and
tell me i am awe-inspiring
i will drag you out your
home, coax whiskey down
your throat like tonic
promise me boundlessness and
i will wear too many rings,
and i will let street signs be
i’ve loved myself into a
new home, i call your ribs my
bed, your collarbone my beams
you promise a lifetime that
you cannot truly commit, but
i still commit mine, too
