threshold:

You feed me midnight tears
your cool maiden cheek
rapture of a happy nebulae
the smudge above
the sky

the wind pours from your
portion of soul
lake dances with fire
the far away shores
full of content warm homes

your teeth glint polished
pointed
eager
a siren races through thick
buildings
screaming
grey cold blacktop

skins like mysteries
we touch where words
fail
where tatoos
needles stabbed us
the bridge of pain
where love tore
through
trepidation

the runaway horse
flames sparking
metal shoes

thundering alone
empty under
the weight of
dreams

what has leapt out
from you
has left

sleep deep
in thresholds
dark

i watch the limbs
of trees conducting
silent symphonies
