Body Work

We can have conversation
Or let our bodies do all the work
We can run as fast as the lightning
Or crawl as slow as the sun
Every word moves like quicksand
As my mouth searches for yours
Hesitate just to prolong this
Meeting of two hearts
I know
When you are gone you’re gone
And I know
When you are gone
A part of me is gone
Curves carved out of porcelain
Bridges cut from stone
In the dark where you found me
To the light that shines down below
We are two drained empty vessels
You’re the trigger and I am the gun
Morning waits just to prolong this
Beating of two hearts
I know
When you are gone you’re gone
And I know
When you are gone
A part of me is gone
