I would

I would hold you like the ocean
feel your tides between my ribs.
fingers learning to see currants,
and depths to extinguish dreams
like stars

I would hold you as the wind.
catch you in my hair
tangling to knots
binding your passing,
your breath the same as mine
then gone

I would hold you as a mountain
rising to meet you.
my time a flicker,
a whisper to lift
you no higher
