Amberlee Carter

lover

slap the beat across his back,

nails strum the strings hard-

tongue contorts, the violation of song-

storm that rises in and out of his chest-

morning sleeps here

i breathe

and beat

between the soft

hues of skin-

pulsate and throb

like the thumb of your own heart-

where rainbows begin themselves

in the vapors of your sweat,

then die a full life

spent in shadows

i live

in-between notes and chords,

the song within your lungs,

i long

to follow the inhalation deep

within the folds of your being-

to be

and become

the butterfly that is sprung

from the depths of destruction-

you are the evening song,

yet you recreate the world

within the vibration of my womb-

gravitationless and starless,

you spit light-years into existence

that sprout millenniums and

spark human eclipse-

a tear against God's iris,

you are tragically delicious

in a thousand shades of night

that is the whitest tone of darkness-

love me still, love me still,

love me into stillness-

for i am the darkness and you,

you are the universe
