We lie together as we always do .
stolen moments of pleasure in our bed of wood and fairy lights that dance above our heads as halos do for the innocent .
Your heart in chest against my back,
Your breath tickles my neck.

My neck feels the pressure as my hair is trapped in the silver lace ,
My feet are blue,
My palms are red-
and I am guilt .

I could relieve the pressure 'round neck and 'round lip
To others we are pathetically in love.
To me , we are pathetic ,
To you , we are in love .

I could not be failure to you .
And so my neck still feels pressure,
And my lips breathe lies .

Sometimes it feels like
you only care about what
you can take from me.

Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;

Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;

Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,

And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
