Wall of Heaven
There are no handholds on the wall of heaven
Nothing to grasp, nothing but my own descent
And I ask
The gossamer cord
Anchored like a tendon to the muscles of my reaching
As it slides through the hands before they know to close
And I realize, suddenly, how motionless I am beneath the sky
I ask if
Standing still drenched in communal sweat
And the sweet smell of your saliva
My mouth smiling your smile
Remembering the feel of it beneath me
This union, I ask if you know it too?
And the chill of wind cuts through my clothing
Waiting for a reply
Waiting as density replaces being
In each repeated silence
From the spasms of no reply I'm pushed
Like a newborn
Into a world I cannot envision
Past the dream of it
And I ask
Beneath the single light of the lamp
Dull and humming in the pre-morn
Grey as pavement and twice as lifeless
I ask myself instead to fly
Beyond answers
Here, with nothing to grasp
With no map to lead me back
Within the wall of you
Nothing to grasp, nothing but my own descent
And I ask
The gossamer cord
Anchored like a tendon to the muscles of my reaching
As it slides through the hands before they know to close
And I realize, suddenly, how motionless I am beneath the sky
I ask if
Standing still drenched in communal sweat
And the sweet smell of your saliva
My mouth smiling your smile
Remembering the feel of it beneath me
This union, I ask if you know it too?
And the chill of wind cuts through my clothing
Waiting for a reply
Waiting as density replaces being
In each repeated silence
From the spasms of no reply I'm pushed
Like a newborn
Into a world I cannot envision
Past the dream of it
And I ask
Beneath the single light of the lamp
Dull and humming in the pre-morn
Grey as pavement and twice as lifeless
I ask myself instead to fly
Beyond answers
Here, with nothing to grasp
With no map to lead me back
Within the wall of you
