La Madrugada (The Dawn)

coiled round your spine in throbbing breaths

ankles and knees enshrined

a silent howl builds beneath shallow breast
brimming on your wine locked lips

released by the night

as I remove
redress
regress

remember my name
as you forget yours

close your eyes
let out the light

tucked up in down
you sleep
still warm
in the memory of those that knew you then
before time

with stinging eyes and sighs
i'll wait for you here

under full moon
wrapped in surface reflections
glossy and flat
as a magazine

and amongst the songs of dawn
i listen for
your distant call
