Midnight finds me
in the whisper of your fingers
as they peel the shadows from my body
and I watch them dissolve
into the eddy of your eyes.
It lurks in the rising tide of my breath
as you unbind the air that holds me together
and gather the fluttering fragments
of who I was before they slip
through your fingers and fly free
into the throat of the winds that breathe me in.
In the scorching silence, dark eats into dark,
gnawing at my voice until
the ragged edges of sound gently fade
into a single rhythm that merges our pasts
and lies undiscovered in the tangle of our feet.
