… one

open spaces

empty myself of words

and hard feelings

spill and tumble from my lips

only if you’ll make a home of my mouth

surely there’s room enough for two

enough room for you

your fears and dreams too

i’ll keep them like my own

tucked beneath my tongue

with the rest of our secrets

rancid sweet faint

place yourself, in trust,

where my darkness dwells

and fill me with your light
