Stillness

I remember the way we looked

blurred in the blue neon light

alone, together.

the walls of the room

were the edges of our universe

There is a stillness here with you,

a warm oblivion

in a sacrilegious kingdom.

time slowed to a lazy, candied crawl

like a bee drowning in honey

matter and space warped around us

and pulled us under its dark waves

into a dimension of our own

I remember the way we looked

before the world spit us out
