IN MY NOOK
A nervous squirrel might say
“I love you with all my heart”,
But that’s not quite right for me
For I love you with many more parts.
I love you with my lips,
I love you with my eyes,
I love you with my brain,
I love you with my thighs.
Vitalized by every detail,
My ears, too, are full of love.
I feel you during the night,
Thumping with blood
As your chest rises and falls
In my nook.
