it has been 8000 days, and longer in my arms, the breath of existence has scarcely fluttered. the slumbering heart, the mind in overdrive, how long have i chewed at my own legs? your voice, your eyes, your lips, their smile Oh! it has been a while. though it was only a minute ago i watched you stand naked, leaning ever so slightly, in front of the mirror, brushing golden filaments though it was only 2 minutes ago i watched you extend your hand, slyly into mine, palm against palm, arm against arm, fingers embracing. your shoulders, your ears, your hands, their caress Oh! too long, i confess!
