Cha Oct 2018
Boat to an island
For every mile
All at once closing in, moving away
Ecdysis
In every cell

To dare, or not to dare
To be here
In the vibrations of uncertainty
The breathless breath surrounds us
Dancing with the smoking cigarette
We made a pact
As we leaned on the sky

I forget where
In the white world
Of crumbled sheets
Iris to iris
Coming up for air
Like a seal in a vast ocean
Of your smell
I put my trust
Hands down
I left it there
DonĀ“t need it anymore

Hand striking in slow motion
Future singing in the field
Where flipping birds
Take flight
To become words of love and devotion.
