I come to you
with my flesh on fire
no explanations,
just instinct
bones turned into pyre
from the unconscious
come a visitor
foreign and yearning
chest tight
toes curled
touch my face now
I’m burning
I carry no escape plan
no intention to fight
I come in peace
bearing tiny explosions of light
hands folded
back straight
eyes looking up
I lean forward slightly
to drink from your cup
So let the sky fall
I’ve lost the urge for flight
anyhow,
I've traded the
evacuation route
for a kiss on the brow
I come to you
face flushed
limbs aglow
racing blood
eager mouth
little to say
and much to show
