I
nuzzle your velvet cheek,
pulsing nape,
and kiss misted petals
trying to meet
myself
within you,

I,
an arrow of ice,
so cool up to that point,
so sharp in bellicose pose,
melted in your quiver,

My
heart before,
a mean glacial stone,
rode slow the blue ice

and after,
lying in the suede nest
of your sling,
shot, hot and quick,
have yet to land

Your eyes,
freeze me in their light,
the light behind
your eyes
warms me imperishable
as all things
sink in you

I wake
and reach to find
my place in the book
I fell asleep with,
gently turn a page,
wishing the story
no end

Poets against the war is redundant
