I want to welcome you back
with pine needles
cinnamon and turmeric and ginger
sugar and warmth
blood from biting my lip
open arms
thumbs on your cheekbones
jaw cradled in my hands
I want to kiss you and taste all the cigarettes you smoked to catch a breath
take it and give you the sweetness
and sound of the rain on the roof in return
Take the comfort I feel when you hold me
The safety I hold so close to my chest
when you're away
