Darkness all around us
We walk
Between the crevices of light
Your eyes are filled
With lucid hazels
Your words seep through your skin,
Delicate and feathery,
The night’s wind
Crisp and calming
It lulls me with each laden step.
I’m within a shallow pocket
Cushioned by the conversation
Out of my cautious body, buzzing, breaking,
I can’t believe
The soothing song
Light and sweet on my tongue
Are the words that fall out
Sliding down
The smooth crescent moon
Swaying pendulously above.
Forever it hangs
We circle
Until the strides become painful,
The rain will fall all night long
