.
I dip my finger
into a cup of saltwater
& paint glassy vines
around your eyes.
You lie on the linoleum,
your hair a wilderness,
your body a statue
of humming stone
that fills me with the ache
of unlighted candles.
.
The invisibility
behind my name
touches the invisibility
behind yours
the way a leaf
brushes against its own tree.
I whistle bird-songs
onto your lips
& look at you
hard,
as if you were disappearing
into the brief carbonation
& half-light
of a crashing wave.
.
Air & light
sink into one another.
Water & salt
mingle,
thirst
builds
& we breathe
more light
than air.
