Identity

Stay. Your place is here, in my chest.

My heart will keep you warm, and fed.

You can blossom, like a flower

                   Or just be still.

You’re welcome just the same.

It’s nice and soft, inside me. You will see;

the light of my cells will be your sun

My blood will be the rivers

          And by arteries and veins

You’ll know my every corner.

I’ll sing to you and you’ll perceive

The vocal chords vibrating,

          And the lungs.

My muscles will be moving if I dance

You’ll move with me as we are

surely one.

Just stay. I promise I will eat

          Fresh flower and green leaves

And I wil drink

          The sweet dew from the branches

of new trees.

I’ll bathe in moonlight and absorb the sun.

In time, you’ll melt inside me

          Like the snow

That’s touched by fiery light from Sun-the-God.

You’ll be a tiny river of pure silver

          And paint inside me a translucent world.
