If I took out my heart and laid her naked
in among the oak tree roots I could watch
her bleed raw passion into the rigid bark,
knowing that my wild and wanton magic
could at last explode unfettered in a crazy
quantum thrust of joy that would travel up
through leaf to star ~ unlike the blood on
ancient pyramids that slithered down to
earth from barren stone-faced altars.

If I took out my heart and laid her down
to quiver softly in your palm I would watch
you cradle her, listen to her fire songs and
know that you alone understand the molten
sighs of love that dance and flicker there.
