Blanketed by the distance between our mouths
That substance between us hovers strung out
Floating, living in the air that we mingle
You and me everything else un-seeable
You tell me I’m a tree, then you carve into me
Scraping out the demons old lovers left lingering
Breathe life into my branches
Sap drips from my leaves
The air round us hangs pure, crystal, clean
You can’t stay for long, you live off the ground
Soaring around like you live in the clouds
You stop time to leave me covered in dust
Shimmering, glimmering, a trail of light where I touch
I’ll keep changing and growing, may never see you again
But that thing we left hanging, it’s perfect and never ends.
