I am the light that issues
from your radiant point
and you are mine.
You gone, I am
a body crumpled,
just one leg
pedaling air. You
answer questions
before I ask them. You
are the flavor I seek, satiation
incarnate. All else falls away before
blaze of your fulsome flame.
There is no more me,
no more you,
only us,
humans.
