untitled (26)
by Brynn Dizack
what an impossible sound:
our collective death.
seaglass gray, or
milky-white, your
limbs in the dark,
(mottled with the
blue-black of contact)
most nights i
put my hands on you
until you can no longer speak,,
until all your sounds are buried
in the snowdrifts of your breathing.
oh,, in
these surefooted days without water,
i am quiet,,
quieter than sleep,
or snow,
or the anticipation of failure--
