flight of a bird into the depth of the night shutters part and our eyes make contact through the partition of glass have you kept up your appearances if we let our eyes meet will our inner children no longer need us you are an example of the winter’s dismissal i am wild and governed by time lines on your face smile at me naively lift up your skirt and i will make haste fasting in the morning our lives are intertwined like the handle of your brush and the seat of your chair what's awakened in your heart these days will you show me the light you’ve hidden winter is coming i am your friend give me the reason to expect your blessings i interpret the existence of our dreams sediments are not what they seem sweet dreams my love if we are held in forests forever breaking free tender threads of comfort will be happening her eyes are joined to the fireplace strands of hair grip the night’s sky linger for a second and are once again free paper trails make haste as dancers move in place our love is the frame we make the cochlea is awakened by the sounds of our breathing if we suspend our hearts will we break them if we are undertakers will we awaken in their arms gardens abound of the sounds we savor the flavors of yesterday still lingers between us i have an armful of flowers and the landscape is so captivating even as our world capsizes into nothing
