eyes close on fragile stalks when the rose sheds its skin & night closes in on all the fears clamour out of their shells & fall into our smiles
where is the sky tonight?
you are soft & opening to me... & seeing all i cannot know carry my thoughts in brown repose know my loss my sweet my unknown find this sheltering cold
the draft of life grows dim the limbs crack & bleed their softness all over your kiss... & hold close as darkness falls again on our alone
