Hungering

like a speeding train,

you eat me up

and blaze away

blaze a trail

a fire against the blackened sky

tracks through my heart

and a wish in the dark

i am longing

i will linger here

deep and withholding

I'm finding you gently

breaking

a little folk goddess

tiny and enchanting

hitching a ride home

to you

i can't relate to the

woman inside me

the frozen greatness

the tingling and humming

of magic in the night

the circle of fire and the moon

my naked skin

dancing around you

and you'll let go someday

this i know

but i can't promise

that i'll ever stop hungering

for you

my folk lover,

i'll never stop hungering for you.
