we speak in tongues to one another

a language no one else can hear

we lay all of our shortcomings out on the bed

and begin to recite the song of connection

the sound of our bodies rustling

and rhythm of our silenced breathing

as we intertwine we slowly share our highest praises and deepest discoveries

my final prayer is that we continue the dance of love until our bodies cannot move

even in death my soul will pull on the wind

to nudge your gravestone roughly against mine

my flesh feels like worn out silk,

i’ve been tugged on too many times.

my hands guided between legs,

too many lowered shoulders to

feel seen at your level.

my body has become something

i owe to the debt of a day

that i did not work.

a life in clouds unknown yet to the sun

those invited are immersed in its walls

may you cry out for deliverance have you wish to still seek solitude elsewhere

for that thundering sound is trumpets

and the downpour is your wine

they anoint you miss unfortunate as they

release the strings that held in your honor

all in the land that was once before you

are now only anchors tied to one’s heart

hurling you against the soft ground

is my solitude now for which i fall upon

or is it the free fall where for a moment

i no longer feel grief pulling on my spine ?

will you see my beauty in my catacombs?

i promise, the skeletons will tell you

of all the good that i’ve done.

i’m only a vast dream space of retched ideas.

hold my hand we can skip through my

vaults and trapdoors ,

there’s a place for us where they keep the lights on.
