Her enchanted lips speak
pages upon pages of unhurried words
I bring her holy seeds, wear
my devotion like gilded feathers
I have become a small, hungry
wild thing upon the bow of her
mighty oak arms
Perched, starving for something
I never knew I needed
like morning rain or
forgiveness of unchallenged sins
