Falter

ahh over water slow light on my skin I breathe with the room

and the room breathes back a pale thread turning through the still

blue air I follow the hollow where the day grows thin

hold me

in

the

quiet

let the tide

begin

Carry

me slow carry me wide into the hush I cannot hide under

the sky under my name all that I

am softens again No need for a door no need for a

sound the earth turns easy and lays me down

ahh ahh stay till the morning Carry me slow softens again ahh ahh
