You touched your cheek to mine
your skin
your mask
my mask
my skin
My heart fluttered
You touched your cheek to mine
your skin
your mask
my mask
my skin
My heart fluttered
we were distant
but our hearts quickened the same
blood pumped
sweat ran
in my mind
I breathed your breath
My dashboard lit up
like a Christmas tree roadside
when my mechanic arrived.
Lay your head on my chest and
listen
A second and a half is a long time between
beats
So many thoughts fly by before the
reassurance
But I am here
and will be here
counting out slow
eternity
with you
my heart is breaking
I hold your hand
Birds weigh less than air
and force themselves to ground.
A fluttering shake of wings
takes them to the skies again
a cloud a cataract a single point.
I feel my heart follow
soaring through the blueness
I feel my heart follow the birds.
supine in fresh fields
hearts beating hummingbird fast
soft stone-flavoured rain
there was haar in my heart
then from a newly cloudless sky
the sun shone strong again
new word: thundersnow
what on earth can that be like?
my heart in your hands
