leaves
arch and fall like
a river of gold sun,
what breaks
and what comes to life,
the pit of my stomach
a scaffolding of
dark fear
i kiss your lips
and your love
drowns me in
moroccan silk,
my heart caves in
my legs cave in
everything is you,
everything is
longing,
a ghost wrapped in
honey,
sweet night where
the stained red maple leaves
melt near the window.
