the air will inhabit my bones.
my flesh is the earth
and i cannot go.
distances like cunning knives cut between us.
i am glass you are stone,
future promises
future promises
all turned to dust.
the light you keep in your hair feeds my existence.
i am made of your atoms —
you are my mind,
i am the rain and you,
you are the eternal sky.
i cut up my flesh to feel
i cut up my soul to flee
i fled
from my own life my own blood
to feel you.
i will live in the walls of your skin,
i will float with your air:
you are mine.
i can burn and you will too
as i am in your arms
eternity finds me
holy chapels of your body
a watchtower
lighthouse
stand still
stand still -
motionless pain is what i am made of;
shatter me and break my soul
arrive, arrive.
you are endless in me and
i am thunder and clouds on your sky.
horizons can never break.
trees will never cease to grow -
lie with me in the snow.
the bells of your heart ring next to mine.
i am here. i am fine.
