i love you because

of your heart's fine white stitching,
vivacity foaming up behind
satin-sheen eyes

of your voice,
like the soft slippered footfall of steps on stairs

like falling face-first into a mattress

of the smudge here, this branding,
the sunburn of loving:

crisped like a well-done pastry,
sprawling feet-first toward the sun.
