Damocles

Across the block, in your room
And that's the way it looks when my eyes adjust
Colorless, wind and speed
Falling right through it when my eyes adjust

Running
Breathlessly
Without arrival
Face swarmed, flickering
Underneath panic
Moths drawn to a grin
Cover me in kisses
Moths drawn to a grin
Suck the pieces from it

All, my, senses
Bending, stroke-like

You draw it out
Out the need
Hanging from a Damocles
Gash is torn
Torn away
Separated from its shadow

I don't, anticipate where you are going
What I, hope is you
Care to let me follow?
This is not my
First delusion
If you told me
Some untruth

You draw it out
Out the need
Hanging from a Damocles
Gash is torn
Torn away
Separated from its shadow
You draw it out
Out the need
Hanging from a Damocles
Gash is torn
Torn away
Separated from its shadow

To, be, held
Or hold you, now
Dawn threatens
Eyes adjusting
I turn, toward
The wall
I dreamt we were
Walking home
