A Poem for a Man Who Knows Very Well Who He Is

It took four hours for me
to stop tingling where you touched,
for orchids to quiet whispering
between my thighs

you rose, a morning prayer
a bouquet of salt and honey,
swept through me like a tide of bata

where do you come from, magic man
that you remind me I am sacred
that you ask and offer
that you replace what was taken

where do you come from, magic man
that your breath makes
each morning holy.
