alone we grow
I can feel your relief
sink into the pit
of my unwanted corridors.
The closing click of a corrosive
exchange in in weary words.
I find myself lost in translation.
You find yourself beneath
what can not be designed.
You fade into me for safe keeping.
Snatched from the tangible.
The creaking corners of our limbs forced to stretch.
Alone we grow.
Together we dream.
