Coconut Oil

Like butter
You are smooth
Milky in my arms, against my chest
You're fresh and supple
With hands big enough to hold me to earth

Softness in your voice
Closes my content and curious eyes
With two bold finger tips

Like honey
You are warm
Easing into my smallest cracks and glazing over my thoughts each day
You will be the hardest poem for me to write
The sweetest time spent with a pen

Like cream
You have aged
Taken from youth and mixed into expensive coffee
Used lightly to saturate the delicate mixture
Heavy and pure
And hard to be common

Like coconut oil
You are the tenderness between my fingers
The eyelashes on my cheeks
Just like oil on my hands
You take care of yourself
And I see you, I see you
With a back heavy with the world

There is nothing I can do but mix into you
Like coconut oil
Like coconut oil
Like coconut oil
