[poem whispered to the loved one

if i could secret you
in my skin,

if i could show you
how i fly with ravens,

if i could convince you
the thousand years
we’re tied to stone
is but a moment,

if i could make it clear
all shackles dissolve
with the proximity of just one
thimble-sized angel,

i’d trace the tattoo you wear
beneath your skin
that assures, you too
(perhaps most of all),
are chosen.]
