The Heart of Darkness



Longing can be manufactured into a gift,
one that sits eternally,
unopened,
with ribbon that doesn't fade:

Her face against yours,
a similar respite,
a slow, unmistakable sparkle around the edges,
a pulsing intensity like a lower jungle canopy,
green to green,
leaf to leaf,
and a whisper in the distance.
