It wasn’t just the fire,
That rose from our individual dormancy,
to greet each other,
Re meet each other,
& feed our animals as they
Came out for play.
It wasn’t just the fire,
The kiss or the shield.
It was the kiss & the thousand times
& thousand more
Instances where we wanted it & closed our eyes
To see each other clearly,
Loving infinitely
For it was the initial covenant
For all more
Beating inside my chest
Infinite in your pulse.
Experiencing the dawn of history beyond these tired songs of neurochemistry.
I will be strong, I will be true.
My love is beyond these flesh lines,
True.
