I am
chocolate.
You are
electric puddles.
I am
holy water springshine.
You are
the trinity of the moon.
I am
a rush of white lilac.
You are
the sun that warms our cup.
I am
the force that spills it over.
We are
swimming in a prismed overflow.
You are
the magic of the ages.
I am
the pearled tears of God.
And when I nestle my face into
that dynamite space between your
chin and your neck,
you must know I am
turning into stars.
Yes, the very same ones that we count.
The ones to whom we say
thank you.
