Nourishment

I close my eyes and rest my
nose against your brow and
think "This is substantial." The
space between our mouths is
breakable and see-through. Our
heads bend together and we
collect stars in our pockets.

We keep our tears in buckets
and water the seeds of our
lima bean hopes and dreams.
We stomp in puddles and
create aqueous islands with
our toes. Our heads bend
together and we collect
sunshine in our pockets.

We ask and pause and start
and go. Soft, velvet flower
petals reveal their secrets
to me, whisper tiny beads
of comfort into my ears. Our
heads bend together and we
collect moonlight in our pockets.
