Just So You Know

I love you for the love 
you have proven
I am able to feel.

I hold it in me, this love, 
like a pail of hot broth.

When I walk, 
it gently licks my insides,

a tantrum of hot liquid filling the 
sponge of my heart daily. 

I cannot tell you how much
my surrender has to do with 
your moon tentacles or the 

gentle scrape of your voice
across my remembering. 

I cannot tell you when or how
these things came to be

or why we so often do what is done to us. 

What I know is 
in the morning when I 
wake a question mark, 

and the shape of you in me 
filled with the sweetness of knowing
has boiled over, 

I am burning 
where I have only 
ever known frost.
