You’re such a compact bonfire.
A little heat
would be welcome,
and yours
is no little heat.
Charring
can be a cleanse.
The healing that follows it
is your doing too.
I want to put you
in the cup of my hands
and hold you
away from
rain and snow,
hold you from sunset
to sunset again.
Such a teacup blaze.
I want to drink from you
and stay warm
for all our remaining years.
