Silhouettes

our feet move as million lights go on and off

in our bedrooms; where we keep each others

secrets; there are still corners of our skin,

that we haven't yet discovered; and it's strange

how your whole body fits on the windowsill

our eyes live a life of their own

judging all of our shells; with dreams in our

hands, yet still looking tiny to the world; our

lungs keep count of the steps we've taken;

stretching the hands above our heads; making

flying birds with our fingers; few inches into

the air they reach, makes us feel closer to the universe

our bodies lie naked in the soil

dancers born between the night and day;

catching the feeling of infinity on wide

open plains; there's no need to feel shame;

after all, the sun doesn't make any difference in

silhouettes between your body and mine
