I want to reach across galaxies
To touch your skin
To scatter my ashes over the miles
Between love and the bitter end
A kiss to remember, hell to forget
What I have surrendered
To the depths of the flesh
This cool December spelled out
Measures the length of your presence
These chaotic expenditures
Of all that I am
Are not for naught, I have lodged myself
A needle into the tender complexions
A dissonance in the ethereal rhythms
Of heaven, hell-bent on regression
When the fates would scry a future
I refused to believe in
I would sleep in, call on you by
Afternoon, where secrets exposed
To the fading blooms
Would serve to remind us
Where we've been
So sweet and
Innocent, this treason sees us
Dancing on empty graves
Patiently awaiting the day
We can be
I can see you
Clearly in this crowded room
If you ever thought I never knew
See what I see
Breathe in what I'm giving
To you.
