An Indomitable Grace

Here is how I love you
I dump an entire ocean of desire
between us
and then spend all the time I can 
swimming it to you
with you

sometimes I am the ocean
sometimes you are a storm
sometimes we are both fish

I’ve spent too much time making my desire small
And myself smaller
But no matter how finite 
I become
my desire is a flood

one drop of water is enough to overwhelm a flea
But a fish can never have too much
