Take It

Take It
 
Oh, it’s all about love
            its green armor
   its winged back
            its daring us/me
to take this and drink of it
water beaded like a peacock’s iridescence
            on love’s shoulders
      on the rim of its cup
                        take this
     And even when we/I
            tighten lips and turn away
that’s love, the fear of its pinch, its anarchy
  the willful forgetting
            that we were all dipped
in its fluid physics from the start.
