Somewhere inside you there is a darkness no one is ever to know,

but I saw you holding it against your face in the light

and it took me in too           (easy to surrender)

 

the moon inside your hair

hums your earthy silence into salt kissed beaches

ages ago

 

*those nights with humanity clenched in my palms

waiting for the world to fall from my lips*

into the sea, out of me

into the                                         end

 

I don't remember who I was when you weren't looking at me
