Can you fly through clouds of rain?

Or does the

weight of water

pull


your



wings




down?



Show me how

to keep my words struggling

against the beat of the drum

Despite all my improvised melodies

I am still a slave

to the same incessant

rhythm



I will not lose myself to find you

let me be tempted instead by

the snow resting a moment on my eyelashes

the anticipation of heat against my skin



Seduce my mind into drowning

Who is tormenting whom?
