you fill everything



you fill
everything

slowly,
the way water fills the cracks
of sidewalk in my front yard
after an unexpected April snow

the way perfume fills the air
and wraps itself around pillowcases
in an empty bed

swiftly,
as beauty fills the spaces between us
and longing eyes fill with the glisten of delight
and fear and
love

you fill me
like a cat claws
with soft paws
and playful round eyes
as you bite your lip

and I flush
with the rush

of
the way
you fill
everything
