Devotion
I'll give you morning bed head,
and bring you hot coffee and muffins to bed.
Let me give you the light, cool stroke
of my hand to get you all warm,
and the red sheen of my toenails,
and the drop of blood from my hand
spilled when I was cooking.
...the splendor of a kiss...
I want to be solstice: let me be your magic
and bathe you, dress you, flip your hair,
...we'll stay together when it's dark...
I want to sip from your drink.
Let me be your playmate
and I'll hold your hand, whisper in your ear,
give you smiles out till dawn.
You can curl up on me to sleep.
...just let me be for you...
