"At The Early Root"

​Jamie Broughton

@jamie_or_broughton

the way i love you is energetic
its dark cold 
its sun breath 
its a gentle death
its the ravens beak 
twisting at the sharpest point

​

my love for you is ecstatic 
its bright night
its earth rich 
its a long cry
its the earth worm 
burrowing at the early root 

​

the love i hold is heavy as air 
its magnet hunger 
its fish wings 
its bird fins
its the center 
of the furthest edge of everything

​

the love i bear is old and unfair
its clouded water 
its nettle teeth
its the vengence of the thorn
its a rock plummeting
from the sheer slope of dreaming
