Creaking, they rattled like bones and threatened to throw us off, but we held on tight, clutching each others skeletons to stay locked in our embrace

We spilled over into silence.

Clouds drift across our eyes.

They say he never sleeps. Just dreams and dreams and dreams.

I want to penetrate your mind.

and aren’t you cold from all the heat you release
curling into tendrils in the shape of sanctity
confusing the gods who’d have preferred love

suffocating on air
and screaming our release

A multitude

She was spinning, always spinning.

members, please read

and across the street
the rain shed its life unto
the leaking roof and broken
gutters spilled the deluge
into the rising flood.

it’s resounding in my ears
deafening me
SHH.

Me and her.
An eternity at hand.
