Tidal Waves



Maybe

it’s a lily we dreamed Into creation

and maybe it's a life like a willow,

a place to go in hard times

and unaccounted moments

of vivid reverie.

Our hands tangled together

are roots connecting

and spreading life

into the ground between us.

I throw myself down

on your beautiful blades

and plead not for mercy

but for more, more, more.

To fall beside you out of breath

looking up,

memorizing the curves in your torso,

paralyzed in saturated moments

as beads of honey and night sweat

tumble down your back,

leaving behind the pattern of comets

to collect in pools

that become tidal waves.
