Warm my skin
against the sun cured stone
wrap my arms around the earth
and breath
everything I forgot to remember
The true of your hands
as they gentled mine,
words curling your tongue
wrapping promises around promises
drawing gravel from our mouths
drink, drink, drink
the semblance
until the ocean emptied
and we licked the seafloor clean
grinding salt between our teeth
Time would never fail to rise
wake our bones,
skip like rocks across the breakwater,
catch air
tap waves,
slivers of light
mad with the lack of gravity
until the drag roared
and swallowed every last minute
Beauty petaled at our feet
as if we walked on water
bursting hues of endless give
air damp with birth,
with death,
music singed our fingertips
grace so bright it burned us
from the inside out
