The transformation yields to no one;
Sugar cube swallowing
to stop the fury and fire dancing.
In your black and white blizzard,
there is a frenzy.

The gray is for all us hollow,
burnt and pricked, suffering the Consequence
and stepping on the broken glass.

You made a home beneath my skin.
I was swollen, but not for long.
I lived within the sun,
the skin, and the soul, It is just now
I found that I've been inside
of a tornado the entire time.

I say, my saving grace,
**** me in and spit me out once more,
Asphyxiate and resuscitate.

The next, you may be unending, on fire.
The flowers may grow again in your footsteps.
You grow and the world follows.

You put the trail through this forbidden wood.
I find myself pacing through its evergreen, ever-lost.

Your wind whips and the blades of grass
cackle beneath the sun, your rays
lash and burn and sting.

I still don't feel a thing.

It is not about pulling your weight (not that there is much to pull anyway)

You flourish and then you falter and then you are throwing yourself to the shower floor
Always 
such a detrimental blinking of eyes (must be a terror to keep them closed)

Chirping and nuzzling does nothing to ease the swelling from my scalp

.
Finger tips graze my hair, lightning froze it to my skull.
I just hope you can see me.
My morpheus, put me to sleep,
My internal ricochet.

My cup of tea looks into me and
tufts of your hair are in my sink but
I don't mind.

I yawn through tired eyes, light uninvited,
My bed has been so untouched.
But I spend the twilight in yours, warm and finally home.
Heavens watch as we wander through your garden,
Sunlit and raw,
That is you and I.

your hot breath on
[my chilled skin]
are my hands
cooler
than the
snow
