Sleepy body and brain float
somewhere in that twilight world
where my heart is free
and love is simple.
I pursue you
through the deep water,
darting in and out
like a mermaid
as you watch me warily
and hide in the murky depths.
My lungs suddenly empty
and I struggle to surface.
You take my mouth
and become breath for me,
filling me with yourself.
Holding me
until I am calm
then you disappear
leaving me part you
and part hunger.
There is just
never
enough
breath.
