velvet cheek pressing against me
pink lips sucking air
my body knows this

memory becomes language
speaking not words but sensations
primal swaying
songs of ancestors

tenderness blooms here

sweet milky breath
tiny fingers grasping shirt

seedling, daffodil drops, skyward

Mother Earth swells larger
willow trees dancing
petal skinned waters

paper cranes taking flight

you sigh
it becomes a smile
now a laugh

are you chasing winds?
riding swollen ocean waves?
smelling ancient ferns?

moonlight sings your name
sunshine whispers its secrets
lean into softness

stars remember everything
you will tell me someday

you will tell me

all of it
