I take
your body where love takes place
I take
your mouth where my life takes shape
I take
your breath which makes my space
I take
you as you are for good
I take
you with open arms to have
I take
you to have
and to hold but not to hold
too hard I take
you for farther for closer
for sooner for later till
till
death tries to get us
and we laugh and we stall
and we tell it to call some other
fine day because we are busy today taking our tea with buttered
hope and
I take thee
I take thee.
