Two bodies face to face
are at times two waves
and night is an ocean.

To bodies face to face are a times two stones
and night a desert

two bodies face to face
are at times two roots
laced into night

Two bodies face to face
are at times two knives
and night strikes sparks.

Two bodies face to face
are two stars falling
in an empty sky.
