sheath
i want
that you tread softly
through my mind body soul
that you breathe my
heartbeat
and cup my
pulse between your hands
like water
from the fountain
that you rim my
edges and
trace my shadow
pursuing the
echo of laughter
in my eyes tears and ghost
i want
that you peer into the pools
of starlit corners
and light the lamp
on the left side
find the room
explore its depths
make its possibilities
concrete in your being
