My Voice

flesh and bone

So, all this time
you really were
flesh and bone?

The truth is i loved you once
when wild things nested inside my chest
and you held the wind in your hands.

I remember your breath
caught between my lips-

your sigh inside my own
made me want you so.

I saw my reflection in your eyes -then

long before night rested there
before eternity pulled them closed.
