i love you
in the confused morning
candle light while I lie
in caged rain.
when you say things that make
my soul tie my heart in a
knot and want to rope the moon.
and I'd lie to the sky to
steal the stars just to light
up our love each night.
on sunny days when i find
my wings, and the breeze
cooling our sweaty bodies
carries me home on fingertips
made of GOd.
when breathing itself
exonerates you and tickles your toes.
(as you realize you could be
breathing in Jesus or John Lennon,
or maybe that poor man they
electrocuted in Florida.)
even as my mind floats away
on exotic bird feathers and my
heart is wrapped around the
moon, even as today is
shiny like silver and rich
as blood. even then,
i love you.
