August just as November

We go out running.

Loudly our silence shrieking

back and forth with the wind

forcing itself

knives

into our lungs

You force me farther still over the bridge now

And then we're back there by the water

this is where we were back then

two years before this

two years before all the nightmares

whom have since presses their bodies against me between us

handsome with ****** hands

holding me hostage in their embraces

in my embrace of myself

It was warm then, with you.

but the moon was just as now.

and you kissed me just as now

and embrace me youre still warm

August just as November.

Stormy just like the weather

Fiercely you make your love to me

So that i remember

Down into the night

you hold my hand and locked in prayer

we breathe...

We stay and look out onto the water

into the past and into the future

You force me farther still - testing my persistence.

And then after so much waiting

We run back home

finally together
