whispers

duty bound
to do away with sense:

can you firewalk
with me under a
tumblemoon, with
stars slicing eyes?
let our feet fail ground
before our wedding day
you & i laying down
rainy grey under
at the quayside...

—and i think you know
how this story ends;
with whispers wraith
kissing ears
as all suns bury down
