I Give You
This tree's dripping fruit
to place in your mouth
to ripen your tongue.
The water guttering down
these green leaves
to be a trellis of fingers
about you.
This soft drizzle of sunlight
to fall gentle as the petals
of meadowsweet on your cheeks.
This bindweed and all tendrils
to hook and bind
our desires together.
