I untie the knot
Of you with
Warm, callused fingers
Smoothe away
The ache with a
Knowing
Caress
Kissing like
We are one another’s air
Taking such pleasure
In simple, primal
Communion
Heal your wounds
With my presence
Offer the gift of myself
And see how the years
Would make me
Shine with values
Immediate and
Emerging
Tell me with a look,
What you’re thinking,
And I will set myself
Down here,
The safe animal
Who knows when
To roar.
