above
a long stem wine glass balances itself on a ledge
bubbles threatening to jump overboard
as body parts disappear into steamy water
below
the heart between my legs
suddenly remembers you
and a ripple of air fills my lungs
heaving to breathe its dying breath
above
eyes fight to keep steady on the door-
wondering where you are,
when you might come,
and whisk me from this spell?
below
a rhythm of waves fight solid forms
and feet ache to curl against cool wet porcelain.
leaving limbs to find a way
to ease my heart's longing.
sending my mouth above
into singing out your name.
