Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

Traces

I share
a breath with your skin
frost on wide windowpanes
our warmed air
as the rain pours from heavy clouds
deep into the ancient red well
echo es
of hollow s
on surface rock s

I’d soft strip your under-jaw with my canines
a familiar musk
coats my tongue

I’d pour into you with blind eyes

Wild lies
