the camel and the bark

[complicake]

there was a drink that was a dream
before we woke we drank each other's skin
there was a wish within the fog

the shape of your dance
your smile
your voice in my ear
gave it form
there was a distance between your lips and mine
and suspended there above the night river ink
holding you in my arms like a wordless breath
before the dream dissolved
our desire was born
and the distance disappeared
