your skin
and my eyes,
losing sight,
cross paths once more.

the salty waters
flow for you in rivers
and collect
between your shoulder blades.

pools of unrequited love
sit passively until shaken,
not stirred,
by your body.

and my mind
is elsewhere
but my body
is next to yours

so for now
we ****
and we cry

knowing
that soon
everything
will be gone
