hush we are small

stretch away from me

hush

reach away from me

twist your back to miss the fall of my gaze

hold your eyes in your hands

become lost

 

pupils dilate to drink the dim light

the fresh sweat and old desire

you are my secret silhouette

and your fire ignites the falling dust

 

Silence like a lace net

silence like dust motes of crystalline ice

small, worthless and beautiful

infinite and dark

 

hush

heat and breath diffuse us

light is shattered by cloth and night

and it ends with a thousand memories of morning.
