Everything moves now—
your breath against my lips,
the slow slide of my fingers
finding their way beneath cotton.
We dance around them—
the ghosts, the silence,
the bad books and the good ones,
the things left unsaid,
if your body slips on river light—
I will catch you.
But Resplendent,
come and dance some more with me
let me teach you—
how to step forward,
how to step round around
Let me place my hands in yours
and show you
how to shadowbox the dark,
how to make the hurt and the silence tumble,
falling like dominos,
one by one,
until all that’s left—
you moving through air.
There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
So I continue to move
Between the bank and the blanket
