as i put my bare hands
on your bare skin
i was relieved of the shortcomings
that had shortened my breath
when you pulled my body close
it felt safe to sleep
not haunted by the sirens
who sang to me
the specter of my faults
fell through the gaps in the faultline
two years too long
the two years i waited
buried two together
but i’ll ride the weather balloons
right out of this hole
and plunge into the open ocean
overwhelmed by her boundless depths
i never wanted to leave you behind
but you stared so blankly
when i motioned for you to follow
i never wanted to leave you behind
but you never needed me
to carry you ahead
