She told me
             “I love you”

it was a whisper,

and it was quick-

her love is a forest fire.

I mostly believed her.

“did you just say you loved me?”

I wanted to say the same
My open mouth on the small of her back

"I. love. you.”

What are these little prayers?
           These flames licking?

She’s been gone a week-

so I sit in this pile of ash,

waiting for the phone to ring.
