Dendritic we branch Fractal we climb We are time We talk, we walk, we This is what people do I'm unsure, still getting used to this Covering of skin and all the We smile we tell each other Stories of our pasts And there's no future Without more pasts to tell And always tell (And always tell) The pull grows stronger, more Present with each day the need The urge to find you Through the trees, all the trees, You Always slipping by somehow Wround the corner In this urban jungle A thin, silver line Invisible to most But not to me Not to you I'm yours, the cells in me Ache to find you (this ache) Through all the needles littering the ground I'd find you And would it be strange if this time We didn't walk or talk But instead I held your hand Along the softest part of my belly Without a word spoken There amidst the trees Just the pine air and your fingers on my ribs And like a piano teacher I'd guide those fingers under mine Tap on them one By one Through the trees that watch us Like nature's voyeurs Hands intertwining and singing to one another In the thick arbor And my belly in your palm One warms the other, though it's impossible to tell which way The heat flows And wouldn't it be strange and wonderful If not a word was shared But instead the words that have no shape And yet every shape still If all these words found places to sit In the corners of our minds And we gently tucked them away Because we knew that words Could not do justice to this sweet thing I'd see you and your eyes would take me in Like the girls etched in oils, Dimensionless on a canvas Hung in galleries for all to see You'd be there in the trees with me And the earth would drip from everywhere Your tongue to hold the nectar of all these sweet moments And still so new and fresh I'd guide your hand Belly to hip Your fingers know me now It's only been a moment but it's unfolding like eternities always do And you know me now By touch by taste by smell Oh god the smell The way your essence pours into me My nose caressing tiny hairs on the side of your neck And I graze my teeth along For neither of us knows The thousands of ways we could die None of them as painful as this The awful beauty in the agony I feel again and again The time has come for all of us to say die Or else who knows what could happen My breath is no longer my own But ours to share here in the trees The trees that watch us And make love to us Our skin bare to dry leaves and sky I kiss your mouth And taste the words you've left inside Our fire threatens the forest So we run downstream to where the world was born I lie in half repose and otherwise taut with hunger The words and all the words spill out of me of you of us But silent and devoid of language Still So still on the bank of the stream I read you poetry Your head on my lap You fill yourself with all the sweetness Flowing from me Never knowing when my gasps Are from metaphor and meter Or your soft sweet tongue that dances Along the sun rays and my shadows We find each other anew in every branch of time beginning here My fingertips close your eyelids I walk them along your neck And here amongst the trees at the river's edge I let you slip into my hands The parts of you that have no shape But still, to me, feel the most real I'll hold them here against my chest So that the beat they feel might revive them The rhythm knocking against my ribs is yours It's meant for you And you know this as your hand on the smallest of my back Guides me to the fallen leaves And props you up so we are nose to nose I feel all parts of you now At the borderlands of here and tomorrow And yesterday and always We are a constellation waiting to be born I want to satiate you time and again but you know what they say A single step must begin with a journey of a thousand miles And so I lead you and you lead me back My hair held tightly in your hands My nails grazing your midnight thoughts now come to life And here we are, amongst the trees, The only others who will know And later will remind me Of what it felt like to have you, even for that infinite moment The cosmos slip through the needle's eye... The time when I let you inside When the words failed us and neither of us could tell When the darkest parts of me sat draped across your lips like candy And when you kissed every memory held between my shoulders When I tasted the seconds that trickled from you, fancying them minutes or even hours When you took me as your own and watched my fingers play before coming to me again to fill me with still more dreams Only the trees remind me And I'll carry a piece of the dream along for colder nights When I'll pretend your breath is on my back And on my belly Winding its way through all the words that weren't there I'll let my own eyes close As the memory serves me And I serve myself to it Just me Just the trees Just the shade of you on my hips
