in my worship, i kiss your spine and chant, whispering, "i love you, i love you," as though prayer. holy light burns on my finger-tips when my hands find your shoulders, and in this union i take my communion.

i love you. i love you. i love you. i'll write it in waves. in skies. in my heart. you'll never see, but you will know. i'll be all the poets, i'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be you.

'i've never been loved. i don't know how to be loved.' he'd it confessed so quietly, like a secret. it's the most natural thing in the world; reverence in his touch when he reaches out, takes both hands in his. 'can i teach you?'

i kissed his knuckles, each of them, split and bloodied. i lapped at the wounds, and thought his blood was mine. i pressed a kiss to his closed fist, and knew that his protection was mine. the dog on my leash, the lover who hung on every word off my lips.

he kisses you, because you're cold. he makes himself a hearth in your heart, because it's empty. bringing new kindling for the flame with every touch & broken gasp— he loves you, slaving away to feed your fire, even when the embers lick at his fingers.
