A Spark

A spark was cast.
Not unlike
That from flint
Or grinding metal
Or loose wire
Roiling on the ground.
Giving birth to flame,
Though deliberate,
Knowing,
Subtle.
Drawing him in
To keep warm.

 

New Groove

Like the glacier grinds against the mountain
Leaving its mark. Changing the surface.
Giving the land a new definition. New life.
Producing new grooves and dips.
Hugging and caressing its curves.
Ushering new waters to flow.
Our bodies slide past each other.
