just one touch this will
shimmer my flesh for days
seek the cocooning

he slips into dream
smiles as she pauses in thought
recounting her day

what's the fun to say
it straight — kick the door, swear
it was sitting there

this path this little
trickle I walk is not yours
your feet are slipping

this mind — dip into
the water deep and cold — pure
silence — I am more

when you miss her she
slips into the back of your
mind always with you

let us for a time
touch this life with a little
lightness — then we fly

he slipping into the room
went quiet to the side
blending in the wall

on the verge of
escape from sanity he
is slipping slipping
