Evaporate

Time Slows Down
Everything crystalline
Your soft smile
Sowing the seeds of mine
Skinless hands
Touch in the darkness
We made light
Out of the swollen night
There on the soil
Lay the soul of a bird
You slipped it on
And without a word
You rose in the air
And split into two
And split into four
And split into eight
And evaporated
Life eviscerates
May you never be alone
In this darkness
Time eviscerates
May you never be immune
To this garden
Worlds on fire
Lit like a million stars
Our desires
Gathered in dusty jars
Out there just
Mirrors of inside us
Bad, fake, good
Lovingly smeared with blood
There on the grass
Lay the soul of a fox
You slipped it on
It fit like a glove
You rose in the air
And split into two
And split into four
And split into eight
And evaporated
