The Sound Between

The voided veins
Prepare for peace
And poise the threats
A thousand drops
Syphoned from her
And stories emerge
Leaving me secrets like droplets on skin
Sweat makes him fall asleep
Breeze that softens his head
The dreams and blank loaded stare
Been a long walk
Sticky and heavy eyes
This thick and foggy focus
Uncomfortable, but I'm proud to say
Is you listen to me
And you listened to me
Your face slipped in the mix and stretched with ease
Soon to accommodate normalcy
And so on, and so on, and so on
To cool the body
Then the blood
Wet and, vulnerable and, rising and falling
All of these, pushed through a tube
A very tiny aperture
To cool the body
Then the blood
Wet and, vulnerable and, rising and falling
The sound between
I am listening, I am listening
All of these, pushed through a tube
A very tiny aperture
