He writes songs down my
back with his fingertips
and every color
presses its face to the sky's glass.
every future spills lifelines
across my shoulders,
Valhalla casting for a bite
of golden apples polished past
my aching fingertips.
this is creation,
blood pacts under oak trees.
his voice is a lazy balloon drift
secretly double-knotting
our wrists beneath the garden,
sweet plants hushing
our lips when they grow too
eager.

I call it a promise
and we both relax.
