Whole Heart First

words fly,
between us, dripping
greasy spots of love potions
on the wings of songs
listened to
cuddled, in our pool
sweat staining our skin

letters scratched and soaking wood
walking back and forth
from here to there
on the backs of, in the trucks
the cars of the post
deliverying sentiments
needed
wanted
like the air or water and food

electronic beeps
ones and zeros
in long strings of glistening Fibonacci
encoded passions, hearts beating

yet, for just one moment, i think
of a day when an airplane landed
and into my arms
you fell
having thrown yourself
willingly into this life

whole heart first
and i there, lucky me, to catch you
to hold you
embrace you

again.

to kiss.
