twined about my throat,
in the shape of
the grip around your arms
the collar looks better

failed explorers trudging back
sunscorched, sandstorm-scathed
high sun
razor winds

sunscorched, sandstorm-scathed
corpse-sallow in somber black
fall closer, closer
pulled tight (rain)
funeral kiss (me)

my bones still ache
the living room couch is still empty
the house fire still not reported

and bumps and landmarks and textures
even blind, i still know you by feel

because that skin, that thing i knew,
made you feel gross

of an atom
of the ground up star matter
your body comes alive
your spirit, your cells, your spinal cord comes alive

dead winter leaves

we jump from this ledge
into the air
atmosphere
nebula
