Your shadow looms
Over our petrified nerves,
Your darkness bright-
Eyed, imposing.
You swallow my
Youth and I give you my hands,
My empty palms,
Both knees crooked.
I had only
Wished for a moment to spare,
But the Bells shook
In my cardiac,
Clanging against
Your chest, until your shaking
Is my shaking,
until your shade
melts us together.
