Love Poem: House

House

The pennies squeak in your fingers,
wet with the the sky's perspiration.
Drawing their copper onto your DNA-
scraping away the cells of her past.

Strips of trees, plastered to the floor
careful not to shed a drip- a stain
on top of her hardwood tiles. 
We Consecrate all our labor on the sheets. 

The paint sticks like glue 
to her succulent, hidden roots;
Coloring the cover under
her opaque jumpsuit of alabaster.

Awash with tides of a new dawn,
the pennies, the paper, the paint
spread like honeybees in Summer's wake
Formulating the colors of love.
