it’s a different kind
has it’s own heart beat
rests in my middle
my core
runs through me in waves
heat

do you know what
that feels like?
to feel the echo of a soul
breathe within yourself
have them grow
root-ends first
until they’ve covered every
bone

it strikes like
lightning fire
burning from deep within
protected from fast-living
the passion rests
just underneath
my skin

subsequently
the unrestraining
feels just not too far
from ordinary territory

and thus
with you i breathe fire
and so
with you i feel at peace.
