Wake to an empty space Felt you Slip away Eyes open Dreams carried away On a wave on an exhale leaving no trace In the dark I'm floating above Don't know where I begin Or where I end Without some kind of human touch My body's estranged Clavicle Rib cage Irises Dilate Lungs fill Empty Again Blood coursing Through veins I am alive I'm breathing I am awake fall out of sleep I try to remember how it feels Under the Weight of another body Skin against skin Something else coming to life Unravelling Deep within the well of loneliness Through the dunes of the dessert through the wounds And the edges Deep within my bones To the cellular essence Where the spirit is untethered Clavicle Rib cage Irises dilate Lungs fill empty again Blood coursing through veins I am alive I'm breathing I am awake fall out of sleep I try to remember how it feels Under the weight of another body Skin against skin Something else coming to life Unravelling Deep within the well of loneliness Through the dunes of the dessert through the wounds And the edges Deep within my bones To the cellular essence Where the spirit is untethered
