You
breathe and listen to my lungs –
Your
wordless sounds of happiness
Keep
resonating through my flesh –
Our
hair is still an awesome mess
__________
I
breathe too fast and try to listen
But
your words are meaningless
Liquid
demons rampaging –
I
don't notice your caress
__________
In
restless dreams – a miracle –
The
two of us – an empty street –
We
don't feel the broken bits
Of
glass that cut our dancing feet
But
rum – is burning in the wounds –
– My
blood – congealing – in the sleet
