You never question my heart, do you?
Take me for what I am, in this moment,
in the next. I have fallen at your knees, blessed the green path
tread beneath your darling toes
and the softness of your caress, is that all?
Have you heard me cry in the night?
Howling at the ivory moon perched above the sill, resting
heavy on my conscience, she begs me, can you risk it,
dear owl-child, break the glass casing your heart holds still within
patient for the emergency that love becomes?
And suddenly I have no more questions,
answers only,
I reply,
yes.
