I love us in the dark
Of the night
In bed
In flight
Alone
Under the same stars
Healing our scars
Tossing sheets
In our love jail
Locked in bars
Of arms
& legs
Your hair hangs on
By threads
Dogs and legs
& the smell of your neck
As we roll over
Tossing blankets
The heat caresses
As you smear into me
I feel
In space
My fingers in yours
We fit
In this place
I feel so safe
With you
Finally
A place
We can be ourselves
Who we truly
Really are
Alone in the art
At home in our dark
Reaching into each other
Floating through time
Space intertwined
Into your arms
Getting lost further
Into you
Further into me
Don’t need the map
Anymore
To find the way home
My childhood
In your sighs
In your freckles
On your thighs
Riding bikes
Skipping creeks
Through these suburban streets
Racing you to the pond
Church bells and psalms
Leaning towards you
With this spit in our palms
