Say a word for all my children
That will never be.
Explain the use of rings and fingers
If I’m not bound to thee.
Your hands are portals, North and South,
And glacial to the touch.
I’m torn to poles, my body in half,
Unable to hold as much.
Now, apart, my mind, it shivers,
Feeling twice the freeze.
Every direction points to you
And covers all degrees.
I wilt over your bed, my love,
Pray that you might see
Within my eye reflections of
How still you are in me.
