sibh

you carry softness in your body like a heart
if i put my hand on your soul, i feel it beating
an earthly throb, a celestial pulse
shining through the bone
from line to line, it wavers, gently - just a bit
of light through each tendon
i imagine a soft speck of dust slipping
into the shell
and layers of tenderness coating it -
heart in formation
breath in conception
spirit being born
if the seed was planted into the soil of skin,
let it linger
let it love your ground
in the depth beneath your ribs
the roots are to be grown
