Him

I've fallen in love with a human.

There is a steady and comforting eagerness to his hands,
 youthful ease in his gaze and bearing,

and he traces each corner of me with emphatic memorization,
as if I could flee at any moment.

He is in my mind always,

blanketed in this quiet season,

covered in northern snow, 

where we have sewn our heartstrings together.
