Eimear

for Steve

 

Light as a bundle of feathers
she reddened me.

Cradled, I stared down at her,
watching each nuance of movement
nurture nature at arm's length.

Her face lit with awe
from the newness of the images
her eyes ravaged.

She swallowed me like the sky
and breaking my arms
she weighed my heart to the floor.
