Seeping Breath
Breathe, breatheyour breath of fire into my chest.
It is bared for you—
innocence bared for you—
You soak my body
seeping through my skin
I am with you
(more than you are with me)
that piece of me, you took
now burns within your heart
—You kissed me once, I turned and walked,
neither of us looked back
“Already I’m so lonesome I could die…”
for your return, we wait.
I never sleep—you never sleep—
for we wait
Until the passion of our breath is to reunite.
We wait.
We wait.
