in this vignette, i am yours only–
a wish plucked from weeping boughs.
& god knows i vowed // not to speak
of this // no blooming hands, no lips;
milk

but your brightness swallows the floods
i am floating // yet wingless
i am worship // i am sun
baked soft with new blood, collagen;
silk

bathed in // what i never dared crave
drawn by // the glint of your blue
light is sweetest after the shade // love

is the shape of you
