Body Work

We can have conversation Or let our bodies do all the work We can run as fast as the lightning Or crawl as slow as the sun Every word moves like quicksand As my mouth searches for yours Hesitate just to prolong this Meeting of two hearts I know When you are gone you’re gone And I know When you are gone A part of me is gone Curves carved out of porcelain Bridges cut from stone In the dark where you found me To the light that shines down below We are two drained empty vessels You’re the trigger and I am the gun Morning waits just to prolong this Beating of two hearts I know When you are gone you’re gone And I know When you are gone A part of me is gone
