Reverberating within me
through the chasm you created
the pull between you here
and the fleeting

The nails dug into my back
fastened around my insides
carrying me away
the wind, forcing its way inside me

A curtain covering the chasm
to prevent exposure

Higher and higher I am taken

A dull vibration, steady only with walls between us

The naked weight of you
tears the curtain back
exposing the chasm
I am vulnerable

Nails unfurled
I'm in a free fall
air masses, resisting my presence

The pressure of your hands
the quickening of your breath

closer and closer I get to the ground
