On the day motion felt like a lie, I asked you to run with me

To suspend your hands over the water’s edge, consume the world,

Swallow my words and feel

The dragonflies in your stomach

Raindrops fall, soft as the wings of a luna moth

Run with me in the dark forever

Or until we can feel the beating of wings

Behind our ears, the slice of a lung full of air

Whooshing out of us

Fast as the crack of the horizon, leaking egg yolk

Into our mouths, painting our insides golden like

The sinking sun, maybe we’ll glow like it, too

I am shaking now like the legs of your dragonfly,

Shedding its soul over and over again on the edge

Of our lake, rejecting

Its own being

I wanted to be in its skin, just a moment, let me

Lose myself in another

I love that day, when the water felt like lightening

And your body danced above the surface, became the surface

And the world is spinning around you and I forget to breathe

As I am pushed to the edge and crushed against the glass

But I could watch the dragonflies dance on your fingers

Forever through the fragments
