BUZZING FLIGHT, and in it your gaze
turns and stretches and twitches

in this daytime shimmer of wings:
your dress flows from your skin back

into the room of drawn out vowels,
their bows without beginning or end.

Fluttering and fragile between sound
and light, your horizon bulges

into a blond vessel: we stand barefooted
at the open window. Condensation drips,

the saliva samples of one night.
You stick your whispers

in my hair: a clasp
for separate ways.
