Evaporation

Direct light - nothing we can see by

In turn we live by touch

Blind as our first moments

All white and flame

Become the darkness see too much

And what glows warm behind us

Casts a shadow limp as sleep

It goes on forever

Or it seems that way

The words unspoken the line uncrossed

Those dark eyes conceal their life within them

Buried secrets - the flesh won't keep

Only motion makes him

And he grows more still

A stronger impulse sinks more deep

And the sky grows white above us

Our love a fact

Like any other

Like a muscle pulsing in a seabird's wing

These welcoming doors close above us
