I want to take in your ancestors sighs
breathe in everything that made its way through your furthest history
and then deeper

razor sharp goosebumps making their
home on my skin permanently
while in axis of you
treasured build up of everything you give to me

then I die
I die

2 seconds before I met you i knew I would know you
I felt you speaking to me before I heard your voice
and I felt your sharp edges under my chin
and in my shoulder before I saw your scars
heard your scars
felt your scars

oh traumatized child of the other generation
your life was built with mediocre times when you should run so fast you got lost
run so fast you crashed
crashed into me

and now I'm laying down breathe less in between your arms
a body all too familiar to me since I knew I was a girl
and that my body differed from that of a mans

and I slide along with a smile
and understanding of your familiarity with me

I'm hanging upside down from your tongue
and all I can do
is close my eyes
and breathe
