it is here we find the new

what did i
expect

when you
plunged
into
me

seeking
the
center

i gasped

air sweet
with your
sweat

poured
in

drenching me

blessed new
raw beginnings

fingers
clutching
clutching
rosary
hot

like

thank you

thank you for
everything
for nothing

that was all

i did not
say your name

i did not need it
to understand

the universe
that lay
within me

throat coated
starry eyed 
diamonds

toes curled
around
saturn

crescent moon
carved
in my navel

the milky way
in my clavicle

it was everything
it was enough
