Skin to Sky
Me—
not just my body
but my sadness,
my longing
fragility
and strangeness.
You—
your skin
shame and sorrow,
your wounds
and your weight
toward the sky.
Skin to skin.
Skin to sky.
Your thoughts
they reach
then spiral,
your breath
it spills
into mine.
Breath to breath.
Skin to skin.
Skin to sky.
Your bones
hold my bones
they shape
silence,
our hearts
beat bare
ribs to dirt
ribs to stars.
Breath to breath.
Beat to beat.
Skin to skin.
Skin to sky.
No hope.
No past.
No time.
Me and you—
all is here.
All is now.
Breath to bones.
Beat to dirt.
Skin to Sky.
