Full

The land was barren,

the sky was black.

Inside,

I was on my back,

peeking through

the gaps in your

curtains.

White flutters.

Our eyes brown.

Your sheets

fighting snow

to reflect

errant photons.

Darkness failing

to stay still.

You pull my hips.

Kneel between me.

Place my knees

about your waist.

Fall forward and

pin my arms.

I inhale the bramble

of your chest.

Lips funnel

beneath your ear.

Fill me up.
