your weighted words slipped off tongue,
spiraled, splashed along the sidewalk,
fell with early autumn
rain through morning gray,
stretched and sliced through the air
just like a high wire
spoken as smooth as silk and
spun out like silver
eased through your teeth and
echoed in eager ears
danced with unsteady footsteps
crawled down our throats to
tie knots in our stomachs
high in the sky lies the belt of orion
but the stars watch us tonight
as we get older
these seasons grow colder
but here in your bed we're
warm, at least for now
love, come lay your head down
