Ecdysis

Dig deeper into your bedroom burrows for the ingrowing splinter you blossom
around
She wakes you up from your bed to sleepwalk you, over the palm of her hand
I’ll wear my shiniest smile to confront her, but she´s a black hole swallowing
all light
You said: «I am yours to save, from the scavenging birds that nest in my chest»
You said: «All I have I’ll share; from my dinner to the last breath inside my
grave»
Sleep my dear
Your need dug into me for a place to belong
You picked all of my locks till I was empty
Till there was nothing left
Till I was broken
Despoilt
As she quietly holds your remains clos to her breast, you´d trade Ariadn into
the maze, to see her smile again
Island heart adrift, reclaim all my soil just for your seed, to feel it all
again
We promised we wouldn’t make the same mistakes
Oh! Atlas shoulders, this dome is too bright for our spines
Weaving and weaving and weaving and weaving and weaving and weaving
​perfectly embroidered words
​​over my shoulders as a perfect cloak
​​​to disappear below
Oh! Atlas shoulders
As the sky cracks, you can finally see your creator crawling on her knees.​​
Oh! Atlas shoulders
