Cannonless

We come down
No more furtively looking around
Glossy-eyed but looking straight
Our fingers touch and separate
We take slow steady breaths
And keep time by the rise and fall of your chest
We come down
Frozen bodies warmth embalms
Faces flushed trembling lips
Crystals rise from the mist of our breath
Triumphantly the threads connect
Subsonic whispers self-reflect
A reverie held rigidly in check
Self control breaks
Walls whisper our names
This is what we were made for
This is how we’re made
Blissfully our frames connect
Keep time by the rise and fall of your chest
Take slow steady breaths
Fall asleep
Blissfully our frames connect
Take short and shallow breaths
I keep time by the rise and fall of your chest and fall asleep
