Smile your love across my life
Hold my face inside your thoughts
Talk with fingers on my spine
Whisper your lips over my longing

Fold your warmth around my ice
And speak with words so soundless

"'ana 'uhibbouk
Je t'aime
Ich liebe dich
I love you"

I spell your sibilants breathlessly

Until you arch me to a crescent

Screaming your name in silence

Under your fingers I come alive

Your name, love, your passion

Imploding explosively
