save for me
a moment here –
before the dawn is come
while still
the night birds
flutter to my breast
wait for me
make for me
as once you dreamed
a life
take your name
from off these hungry lips
suffer my confession
was for this
i came to be
across a million tribes
an angry sea
saved for you
made for you
love i won’t forsake
hands to reach
whisper me
to home

. . .
