wet

your breath comes measured

in exquisite twos

my fingertips black

with ash

transfixed by gold awash

the windows bead in anticipation

and all of this writing is a poor substitute

for what i really mean

words can’t dream speak listen love like i do

when the world outside drowns

and i make a shelter out of this poem
