Held for resurrection’s eve
in pouchy fold of earth;
or perhaps on breast from which to suckle,
maybe a fruit, that seeps juices to open lips~
I draw great gulps like half starved pup,
kneading what is necessary
to simply sustain me in my wait
It is safe, encapsulated and entrusted
only to me, only for me, for such time
as lover leaps from his clouds to rejoin me
