Diving

I too hear my amino acids vanishing

 Down the hourglass evening

 Watching you on my plasma

 That screen above my heart

 Last night with you, eyes closed

 Like the last movement of The 1812 Overture

 Church bells thundering, cannons thumping 

Red blood coursing In veins filled with doubt and ecstasy

 You told me you were letting me go

 But I just got closer

 Closer to beginning the ascent

 To that cliff above the sea

 Where I dive or slink back

 To the hotel room and curl like a dog

, sighing about How I might have won you if…

 Then I am airborne, salt stinging

 Bones ready to be crushed Eyes open, hoping
