The words are lost in translation;
spoken in a tongue not
used by mouth
but beaten in the pulse and thump
of our music.
You are the note that lingers;
rising beyond the
confines
of skin that my hand touches
Too afraid to fly, I can only watch
as you unfold wings
of your own making;
draining the landscape of colour
as you reach
skyward,
using my breath as your freedom.
