how many words
do we need
to say
i love you?
i want to tell
you;
you want to be
told.
i want to
write;
& you want to be
read to.
serving poems
like pancakes
on sunday
morning.
here we are,
being beauty.
glowing like the
milky way;
happy from the
center of the earth;
enfolding in
gravitational
desire.
but being
human, we
hunger we long for ways
to consume our
selves in each
other.
or maybe
we’ll just
let go
of worldly
cares
& bask our souls
in the fleshy
sunlight of
nirvana.
