I careen across
the pavement...

I twirled
and twirled...

Outside there's a dusty rain
and inside only golden shadows...

White dress, white lace
tattered and worn...

I feel the weight
of you...

Lean into the wind
feel the smoke...

I want you and
I don't...

It was all too much
for a moment...

I think somewhere in all this
subcutaneous earth...

A sigh
is a wish...

Find me here,
behind my words...

I've always loved you--
your hands, your eyes...
