ØY

Subfreezing air, my skin met your breath, the numbness overtaken by awe and overwhelm. Whisked away by your whispers of the wind, both away from my body and deeper in. At this altar, a desire to offer myself, in an unknown way, profess my love, and ask for forgiveness as I witnessed and felt our destruction. Me, a micron, engulfed by you, aching to be with, not on or beside. A blurred sense of edge, boundary, or limit, just expanse and spirit, until I had to come back- a painful and forced extraction to come back to this other side.
