dragging our feet
upon ashes of words dealt
throwing thorns at shadows in eve
we wake the ocean with a touch of heaven
lips against my skin
feel you screaming
rapids gravitate and we’re in hell masked as heaven
pulling ourselves and breaking a moment
shaving bones to feel whole
using herbs to tango the ice of our hearts
mixing vodka and tonic to shade abuse
talking in difference we build false pretense
he shatters windows of our green house
swinging arms through nothingness
he feels it, i feel him
in a corner five thousand miles away
tuesday with mercury in retrograde
we face death to stay unafraid
bones
