close the door so lift
my freedom sucks a breath
in words flow

turn this door - the air
dances lighter on my skin
I float free

capture the second
unposed sliver of time
now - then it sucks
within a fold of your mind

was it

shimmer your eyes
then you sandbag

may I touch your soul -
fingertips spark
- you curl in yourself

let me in - may I

what is this darkness
descend upon me will I
slay my soul

conflict another
you rescue crucify me
in joy you

simple me quiet
unmoving stirred in my cup
it's true you
