You are omnipotent
with your beauty:
it walks across a street.

Clouds draw breath.

Midnight chatter
binds us tightly
into tomorrow’s spiral

The stars crumble.

Stubble on your chin
like a thin mouse
kissing me.

Tying us in.

The night has
footsteps
we watch them.

Sleep falters.

Your kisses burn
like powder sparks
suddenly I find:

need of you.
