Amphibian

I want to love like an

amphibian      drinking you   

through my pores like gleaning oxygen

from water

precious and divine

 

I want to love with my

entire being      my mind tasting

the rare wit of your life story

my gut recognizing your bright

wise everything-goodness

 

I want to love like the making

of spring      receiving the miracle

of your truest self right into the grace

of my secret salamander skin

 

Look, it is raining love

right now
