this soul
of burnt sienna
stares into you
and circulates your own
to ignite your shivering faith

it begs:
give into me --
oh, please give in to all
i ever was, am, and will be
while echoing my gravid burdens
atop of you.

come love me,
love me as sweetly
as the rain you forage from
loves the sacred earth
(where you can never touch
in my dreams)
while pouring from the clouded shoal
of my current visage...

i am your undying universe,
hold me.
