Searching for air pockets
Is how you love:
Swallowing bubbles (just in case)
Holding them in your cheeks
Cradling bits of what is life-giving,
Waiting to kiss who needs it
Lips, a gift
Falling from you like a blue fountain
Feeding fires and balloons and lungs
Holding up the entire sky
Atom by atom
Peace by pieces
Something you learned while drowning
