Coast

You wriggled your way into my wrists

to direct the wind of my pen tip

across the lines of paper I call my home.

 

And I would watch you

with grey eyes sunk of light

while you would swallow my words

and draw your fingertips along my waist

 

in harmony we stood like this for long

until you pushed yourself aching from my grasp,

my pen a dagger in your side

 

and here we stand

miles apart

with our words like worlds between us

 

and I have never felt safer before.
