Your breath was warm
On my neck. But the rain
Was cold. And the future
Too old for forgiveness.
Horrible things would happen to us.
But we did not know that.
So you consumed my body-
Fragile like a porcelain doll-
And you put a spell on me.
We stayed inside while
God cleansed the earth with
Wind and rain. We thought
We could escape the bad things.
Your face, your hair,
Rested, lovely against mine.
I thought we had stopped time.
Safe in your heart's rhythm,
My fingers lightly tapped away
The night.
