A River Under This

I will eat your eyes
to have your visions inside me
people's words blind eyes mute mouths
but not we
we search for perfect language
and I would speak on your tongue
to have you know me
you murmur into my head
lips move soft over heart
for so many others
bridges have been built over nothing
a stone laid on top of a stone laid beneath
but we have a river under this
we have looked down and seen it flowing
and you have my blood in the center of your belly
it has replaced all things that have eaten
and chewed on you
and spit you from the inside out
it is the river
flowing deep and warm from the core
back to me through your eyes
true soul as the source
