tricks with mirrors

full lips invite a kiss
softly, softly
surface | moment
spellbound | transfixed

hush - hush
lost to silence
(lost to the gaze of distant faces)

we see ourselves reflected backwards
not arriving,
but rebounding - an echo,
a ripple.

we rise and fall.
lost to silence.
chaos preserved in silvered glass.

hush - hush
(softly, softly)

illusion | shattered

rapture | unleashed

Remembrance

set your roots

deep

into the earth

a thousand lifetimes you have seen

I am a moment


fingers touch skin

untold

secrets

this moment stripped bare


you could crush me like a flower

ephemeral beauty

bound by flesh
