I sleepfallwalk into swamps and
learn to breathe through the foxtails.

I smell all of cigarette smoke and rain and
taste like Newfoundland Screech
yourlips yourneck.

My throat is a burning curse,
the kind that whispers
we are gypsies
through the curves of your ear.

It is an omen and you are the augur.
You are warm skin and salt,
nights in ember and flitting bits of ash.
