Dance me a web of stars
thighs spread wide beneath my wings
feathers falling across your licorice curls
tangled between moans

The sky shuttered
shook free its moorings
sailed into the night

Breathe in the musk of yesterday
devour tomorrow’s desperate strokes
decadence in emerald and turquoise
wrapping myself around you

The sky shuttered
shook free its moorings
sailed into the night

Spin me a net of burning gems
arms welcoming my beating marrow
with iron eyes and heart of jet
innocent with every taste

The sky shuttered
shook free its moorings
sailed into the night

Lunge into my taloned hands
camped around your burning flame
powerful in freedom’s flight
galaxies twisting  round my heart

The sky shuttered
shook free its moorings
sailed into the night

Collapse into my nothingness
of days before a rising sun
lips locking as we pill close the wind
angels singing in the dark

The sky shuttered
shook free its moorings
sailed into the night

You are my languid lover
mother of the ivory egg
mirror touched spread starry thighs
whirling out the dreams of life

You are my shuttering sky
shaking free the moorings of desire
sail me oh sail me
into the night
