This cradle

Binding, breathing, behaviour
Complication engineering child.
Heart, loss, gut, control 
Heavy water bearing down.

Until more loss
Into the rivulets of salt water that pools in scars. And stars 
Prised open those levers - silver flashes in the eyes
Our tears, liquid mercury all fragile and tense
Coalesce then shatter.

Unless the seed dies, it remains alone.
Until my heart breaks as yours was broken, 
it remains alone in loveless weary haunts, deserted.
Unless the day wanes with dark descending,
No new day breaks revealing expectation.
Unless I surrender to your beauty
I remain alone as you were orphaned,
A human cell, a husk discarded.

Here are the seeds of all your value
Flesh, joy, and exultation.
Virtutis amore go to ground
and yield a rich harvest
