I am a cloud spun out of the mouth of god
wet with desire and morning rainbows
tumbling in birdsong
lost in your sky.

I feel the earth spin in your hands
and my bones rise like magma
from the earth's center
out of control
consumed in our fire.

Your breath is the morning wind.
Your voice wears the sun
and I am every greening thing
spiraling in your space.
