A whisper in the ear
Gooses the flesh
It says, “want me”
But I already do
*
In the midst of a windstorm
On a carousel with an older kid pushing
Faster and faster as glee becomes terror
Yet never felt so alive
*
A haze hovers over
And the locusts are on their way
What will be left for us
When the sun sleeps in
*
A touch of skin on skin
Blood mixes with electricity
Time stands still
But the heart speeds up
*
And in the forever-ever
Where everything smells of lavender
We sit and wait to learn
What’s next for us all
*
