Beneath my feet
Meadows and valleys and mountain passes
Have passed
Without callousing me toes
Though, somehow my heart seems harder
To the touch
Love, what are you?
A story?
A breath?
Or, something deeper?
I clearly recall
The fleck of flint and steel
The orange of twig and tender
Like flash paper
While the cosmos above
Drew my attention away
Before I could feed the flame
