djinn

I wish you would fall

into my arms.

Throw yourself

as an arrow across the range,

strike deep into my core.

You have already pierced my heart.

I wish you would crave me

         -seek me out.

I long for you.

Your love is familiar,

an old chair with cushions worn

          just

                    right.

Yet also-

your love is new, with

tangible uncertainty and one wobbling leg.

I wish you would crawl between my legs.

Bury yourself in the essence of me

that was hidden

and I will bury my fingers in the forest

of your body,

searching out the soil

for flowers to remind you

of your beauty.

I pray one day you are as deeply rooted

in me
