Origami
What I remember most
are your delicate
fingers
creasing the edges,
folding and turning
to shape
everything you
touch
into
all the little
creatures
of creation
until finally and
at last, we each rest warm
in your creaseless palm,
thumping and beaming
with life,
as beautiful
as you
with your angular jaw
and your intimate lines.
Then,
you set us free
like paper sparrows.
Today
in your absence
I am falling…
an unraveled leaflet,
wingless and helpless,
twisting and swirling
to the ground
your diligent hands,
your careful expression
still folding and creasing
in your omnipotent
heaven

Baby, come over here and let me take care of your injuries. Show me where it hurts. I'll kiss it and make it better.
Ya know, when you say pleeeeeeeaaaaaase like that, it really vibrates my uvula...
I'm not normally into poems, but I rather liked this, it kind of reminded me of an autumn leaf dropping, twisting and turning in the air as it descended to the forest floor...
