Fossils

i lay my heart
where you lay your head
fossils on the pillow
my body                          
                your soul
my head
                your head
my hand
               your heart
shoulder
       chest
           navel navel
pelvis hip cock shudder
knees
       ankles
              eyelids
words meant unspoken
somewhere within
an archaeologist will study
what we bury here
purposes
promises

intangible things
birds intended to fly
healed
   hopeful
waiting to be thrown
