dirt mother

We spent today in fiery undertow
Swirling air and billows of smoke and your breath...
Red
Kiss me on the lips in greeting
"And then came the rain"

A unicorn floats between worlds
I stare at the back of your neck
Only a woman understands the nature of your drive
Sink, deep

I see who sees this truth
I see who hides
I see myself as your heartbreak slips magically through our hands
Going nowhere...

Shake my head, yes...
(too tired for this fight)
I come home and fall into a heavy, black sleep
