the image of
parting flesh and
wounded breathing
to rise above and
fall beyond
the impervious dissonance
of your moon
and my sigh,
the unborn
lightness of a
heart heavy with
fire, consumed
by desire
heedlessly wanting
the waning
sound of your
nails scratching
my back
and leaving
my skin with
marks of your
impenetrable
and ragged
embrace.
