The land was barren,
the sky was black.
Inside,
I was on my back,
peeking through
the gaps in your
curtains.
White flutters.
Our eyes brown.
Your sheets
fighting snow
to reflect
errant photons.
Darkness failing
to stay still.
You pull my hips.
Kneel between me.
Place my knees
about your waist.
Fall forward and
pin my arms.
I inhale the bramble
of your chest.
Lips funnel
beneath your ear.
Fill me up.
