It's All Relevant

“My love is honey tongued. Dandelion wine in a pitcher. Thirsty love. My love licks its fingers before it has even fed. My love is peach juice dripping down the neck. Too much sugar love. Cavity love. Toothache, tummy ache love. Soft hands holding the jaw open love. Summer love. Sticky sweet, sticky sweat love. My love can’t ride a bike. My love walks everywhere. Wanders through the river. Feeds the fish, skips the stones. Barefoot love. My love stretches itself out on the grass, kisses a nectarine. My love is never waiting. My love is a traveler, a fruit-eater, a holder. My love is alive. Warm. It lives. It breathes.”
