knowing, placed


there is a crackling in my heart, the sound
of space carved into damp wood
like a breakfast nook;

a percolation 
of morning coffee, made
with the heat of shared laughter;

a voice on fire reaching me, tender
newborn softness, surprising
warmth, in so small a frame

i picture you drinking, me
watching, you
smiling as it all steeps in

the world, a porous filter
soaked in this kind of knowing, placed
gingerly on a turning page.

to read your words is to see, my heart
reflected in the mirrors, your eyes
looking into me
