**
sink into the night sky
and exist within the touch
this crystallized soul
smells of
things once felt
blood that hides within a hush
floating under the rivers of thin matter
skin flushed with a fiver
I am your river
I am your tide
the rising and falling of your heart
a rhythmic expansion to those pulsating stars
each of your thoughts are mine to swallow
a light sip of chilled liquid
on a summer’s day
sink into my river
embrace the tide
breathe
