I want your voice
to crawl inside
my head,
tiptoe around
my ears and
dance on my chest.
Your honey words
float
and
breathe
and
sweat
inside my brain
until my stomach
starts to spin
and the earth
no longer does.
Your staccato
laughter and
your dark chuckle
whisper through
my closed eyes
and pour
sugar into my
bitter heart.
Your voice melts
the icy shroud
blanketing me,
holding me,
weighing me
to the soiled ground.
Your voice
and the way it
breathes my name,
that sound seeps inside
of me and
rebuilds my body
with bricks made
from the vibration
of your vocal chords.
My bones are
fabricated from
your words,
made sturdy
with your melody.
