in a remembering dream

you are there,
my helpless love,
the one i tricked
no lies
fragments of truth
supersonic
and folding beneath the fire

do not behave as if you know
for how can you understand
a hunger you've never met?

outside our window i watch this bird ~ a starving beast ~ in your hand ~ in mine. you swift my cheek my hand to yours, we shudder meaning, crook and shade, window light.

calling.
calling.
an acoustic fear - full of tin and pennies.

i remember you forward...hold me, my only love.
i will fold you into the song of my soul,

and surrender
beneath
surrender
