The need to say this staggers
Like windswept tenacity
In the untenable.
“I love you.”
What joy
What kindness
What thrill to utter simplicity
In this incomplete now.
“I love you.”
To host these syllables!
The back of the throat
The tongue against teeth
And then, the throat again
But the teeth meeting bottom lip
And a simultaneous push
From the back once more
Through rounded lips
Ready for a kiss.
Such ease and welcome.
“I love you.”
And the words echo
Into nightwalks alone
Where the stars shine
As answer.
Where beds await
Cold.
