. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

seeds

i will
plant more
seeds
near the flower
that is you

walking away now
to your
innuendo
in a dream
where a shadow
misses your touch

f a i n t l y, with eyes closed
a fire burns, a purple hue
and its silence speaks
