Shut the eyes that hold you to this universe, feel my breath on the nape of your neck, as you read the next verse. Hands, palms and fingertips, trace a path down my spine, until they reach my hips. Careful, keep them shut. Hurry to find my lips. Drawing breaths, short and shallow. Instinct lies beneath soft skin and bones hollow, instinct that awakens, and we begin to follow. Fingers intertwine, as roots of an old tree, you hold me in place. Faster my heart starts to race. Studying your eyes, the color of earth. Something of invaluable worth, begins to fill, begins to spill over, out of your soul’s window, something portrayed by a four letter word, so simple. Like the dawn, you rise and break free, from this world, from me, only for a moment, to drop to one knee.
