breath

there is life

moving beneath us

around and above us

disappearing into thoughts

but we sleepwalk through it

forgetfully hiding from the rain

and sunlight - tender and violent

movements carry new found secrets

sounds fade away as I become aware

of her soft body brushing against me

gently turning and tossing her hair

brushed by the warmth and smell

of a strange room somewhere

walking by I close my eyes

breathing her - being her

passing through me

by surprise

.
