My heart will wink him single
when a close kiss doubles his nose.
I'll trace the blood map on his forearm,
the blue root on the side of his foot,
and learn him sooner than the way home –
if he'll come.
I'll muzzle in his smells:
warm bread and scrubbed potatoes –
and pry a penny from each dimple,
chin or chalice of his chest,
with a tongue suppler than thumbs –
If he'll come.
I'll hang him on my neck and strum him
like a lyre – fretting the knobs of his nape –
tune his shoulders and his back.
I'll make a minikin music
to sit inside his ear and hum –
if he'll come.
