Completely erase me.

Slow down your steady breaths.

Refold and replace me.

Sincerity for clarity.


A bare bone stare

screams I’m not really here

But I’m more than that.

Poised position against collapse.

At least I’m in the same space as you;

shaping you and erasing you

so that I can know your face through

the light of my

Rhythmically, Balanced, Interchange.



So subtle forms  form you like pulse beats pulled

from my stillness by desire to extend.

Shared silences build my love.

Give just to re-give.

Cycles of our spirals.

Spin, twist, and unfold again.



You will know me forever

by becoming us and each one each other.

While I have done the same

and felt this love for you

my heavy burdens saved for illusion

have dropped from my weight

and pulled me from my clay’s haze

of blind sights

and restless quakes.


Cosmic clutch softly, to save me;

completely erase me,

baby,

asking, whispering …

Hearts in balance.

Go steady with me?
