Breathe
Breathe for me,
he said
I sent you
into this world
to be my body
Breathe, as if I were
the sweet air
moving through you
breathe, at each first light
when you wake as if
reborn
build your world again
out of my love
breathe me in
fill yourself slowly
keep me inside you
forever
and breathe out
we will be
the first move your body makes
and then the next
breathe for me,
give me joy
let me be the first
and the last love
holding you
