A Wigwam for a Goose's Bridle

I want to be

intimate

with you.

I’m not referring

to a physical proximity,

but to exploring

every nook and cranny

of your mind and heart and soul,

tracing my fingers

through every creviced scar,

speaking love

into every doubt and fear,

and letting you do the same

while we marinate in honey and anxiety,

hurting

but also healing, 

not alone

and not without hope.
