VIABLE AIR

There was a moment - where you made my heart trip.
Your weight upon me, pressing me down, downdowndown
your heart beating - into my chest - out of synch with mine
a kiss upon the head, three spoken words - my name the punctuation.


the bridge is flooded and I cannot return home.


This city is blanketed by the sky, heat oppressive
we stand amongst three nations of people

I am breatheless, the heat robbing my lungs of viable air,
whispering into your ear, my final words - iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou

My lips on the pulse in your neck
breathing you into my lungs
you surround me, around me....

iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou
