A far sea moves in my ear.
Dancing with a silent hiss in waves deep.
Making me miss all oxygen from your exhale
Deep deep.
Poison me with your firm grip,
I’ll let you —
Kill me softly so I can haunt you
Ad infinitum.
I am not dark, only an inhabitant of
the dark side of our Moon.
My demons swallowed all the stars
Around, left us no room to exist in

Our physical.
Without eyes wide shut we made darkness our baby.
An all-encompassing blanket, the sea, the sea —
We can rise above all like rebellious balloons,
Where your obsession with speed made
Vertigo my best vision.
If I had some sunlight I could see your heart
Like I see the veins in leaves of a monster.
Wish I could jar it all, this light a delight
Save it for a stormy night so I could call back
All drowned stars, wake them up up up —
Let the moon grimace in her shine — a shrine.
