Right here, right now? The kitchen? On the table!?
Why not? The curtain's drawn, the dishes done...
That's not the point - we might be seen: the cats!
A smiling silence marks the code for 'Yes'!
They haven't any cats.
With shaking hands the breakfast things are cleared.
Before the final tetris slot of dish to stack
Is final launch commit: they've cleared the tower
The boosters lit, the fuel is rushing to the fires
Already burning
Bloom in crimson waves around them both.
- Can we agree on one thing first my Friend?
This is
The heaviest, lightest thing that you can do.
To live these silvery liquid chains of breath
And blood.
And sky and air and
Falls calling to each other and winging to the heights...
And she says
Look at me.
