The Ache

Love
Is that what this ache is?
A threatening storm
Busting lungs
A trail of smoke
Reaching upwards
Before the crackle
Of mystic flame

Or is it
Longing?
The quiet unraveling
And restitching
Of me
That’s waiting for
Lightening to snap
The sky in two
Call my name
Claw me out
Of this heatwave
Bring me back
Take me back
To him
