New spaces form lines on your skin
Nesting nesting to survive
Adjust and jumble what once was
Holding to what is and gritting teeth it won’t all fall to pieces
Somehow it fits you fit we fit and I stay here because it’s safe
When I’m no longer feeling brave shaking to the brittle core of what I am made of
I sway in the breath of your once solid voice as you those words slip away for solid good
“Till next time” the prayer escapes my lips
Whispers in your ears
Nothing but echoes of one night long long ago in a far away dream when we were dark and secret
Before the light scorched our summer skin leaving burns and freckles to remind us we loved once
Hard and fast with no apologies or punishment with marks and reactions I can still feel your hot hands on me late at night in the quite in the still
Before the break
Before the fall
After the rising
In long remembrance of the dark
Or in sight of the dark
Or watching the dark from the back window as we drive
Summer 2014
