grain
cyanotic whispers slither
between heartbeats
like a river ribbonning its shores
among almond trees
and night sways its liquid ebony hips
over endless fields of thoughts –
if we could stop the flow of sand
how would we ever know
that one perfect grain at which to break
the hourglass?
on my shoulder
the song of a nightingale mirrors in your breath.
