The Earth deepens
It's marshy womb
The woods decay,
And dead fruits fall;
Our limbs like licorice
Swinging in the wings,
Their tips, nipping at
The fabric of sheer life!
And we'd wrap them
Like ropes,
Around our hopeless selves,
Weeded in, weeding out.
The nights are ours,
Days, we've never owned,
Yet, seldom, when
Meteors shower
And the Earth drenches
In starbath,
Your eyes would
Still be looking into mine,
And mine
Into the constellations
In yours.
