Our breath gathers in silence,
Gravity igniting in the grooves
We thread and yield like fish in water.
–
I salt my landscapes with shadows
With loaves of rye bread
And rows of weathered shoes.
–
My senses exchange themselves
The tilt of your head smells
Of raspberry jam and clover.
–
We send each other letters
Thick with perfume and plans
For a life we have never known.
