I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
–Pablo Neruda, “Twenty Love Poems: XIV”
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
I want
to do with you what the soprano does with a melody.
I want
to do with you what light does with water.
I want
to do with you what time does with wine.
I want
to do with you what the explorer does with a map.
I want
to do with you what voltage does with light bulbs.
I want
to do with you what wind does with a rock face.
I want
to do with you what a camera does with a landscape.
I want
to do with you what a cat does with a purr.
I want
to do with you what your eyes do with my stomach.
I want
to do with you what the spring does with the cherry trees.
