| when it is midnight, and you can't sleep... |


as a harbor:i welcome your limbs as they come inas a harbor:
to shore, sand-spangled and desperate. i become a small gray bird with stilt legs: too tall for
the both of us. i am the things you couldn't ask for, only thought quietly. the night that cradles you or spits you out onto its dark cheeks.


to be scorched.the mad surge of pelvicto be scorched.
bones, sharp and undeniable. our fingertips tracing crescent ridges
and liquid shadows -
a tic, a strange, disembodied twitch, hips stiff with trying not to lean in;
mouths dry, we're anticipating the sly dip lower, the insistent moon-shapes of nails left where skin

(but i could never find you, either, so maybe
its just me.)

she has dreamt up names and a face; a smile and laughter and sparkling green eyes. she has watched, through a haze of fairy dust, mornings at coffee bean together, sitting opposite him cupping mugs in their hands and not saying anything
because in the mornings at seven, lost in each others company with the synchrony of their movements playing a harmony and the drone of grey-suited office workers as a background accompaniment, what would you like are the only words they need to share.

you are the only thing that makes me want to live at all / oh, when i am with you there's no reason to pretend / that when i am with you / i feel flames again / just put me inside you / i would never, ever leave...

(i need more grace than i thought.)
I love your work!

let's trade
an eye for an eye,
a laugh for a laugh,
a truth for a truth.

If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can. & there is nothing more to it than that.
