what does it say,
she asked,

& held her palm out.

i spread her fingers apart.
your life will open & remain open,
i told her.

what does that mean?
she asked.

i slid my finger
down her thumb
& palm
to wrist

where i held it
over her pulse

& said

all
y-
our
m-
any
p-
et-
al-
s

w-
ill

f-
all

as
you

beg-
in
to
lo-
ve.
what is said and what we say.

this probably wasn't intentional, but somehow i caught that "begin to love" could also say "beg into love". kind of an interesting twist no? anyway, i love that line, it's so very sweet and poetic :heart:
