Still tangled in the snare of sleep,
your arms around me warm
the atmosphere that fills my mouth
and blurs the coming storm
Rise soon we must to hold at bay
the whispered thunder of history
where cities wind and knot and fray
beneath a burdened sky
But first we linger in the dark
stealing shreds of time
drinking closeness through our skin
like cautious sips of wine
