wedding song

So this is love

this charred place on my skin
this broken inhalation
________in
______and
________out
______and
________in
I didn't know you'd burn me
with your tongue
but speak and I am
scourged
touch me I'm
divided
joint and marrow

So this is love

this threaded tension
this rope-burn on my heart
you're a hopeless
(un)romantic
when you say that we're
entangled now
and you won't untie this

(k)not
in
me
