Take me as I am
cause a reaction
understanding
not a transaction
set it off,
and
🎬
ACTION.

in the wisps of mist
stroking the curves
of a sleeping mountain
I hear a call

husky tones
siphoned off
by a cold wind
mocking

I see you still
as a filtered moon
drifts over my lashes
quivering

like the scent of you
as we dance
skin to skin
close

From the day of birth
you may live to a hundred-plus
become the rustic
trust the anvil negate hate
all that time you were dying

drink of sunshine
wash of rain
blue sky to sail

earth to conceal
stars to dance
crumble of stone.
