[umanavoce]

Everything I’ve been writing lately 
is dangerous 
dancing on the raggedy edge of telling you much 
too much  
and not giving you enough fuel 
to keep this burning 
the clockwork heart turning 
it all comes back to bonfires 
and smolder and smoke 
the right kind of talk 
the break in a long walk that keeps us 
twisting around each other 
all ivy wind and  
crimson wine  
spilling all over 
dresses, making messes 
curling your tresses in my fingers 
kindling something between 
eyes that needs shared air to  
breathe it to light to life 
and I don’t want to be friends 
would rather see the music end 
on high note of inferno 
than be smothered by each other’s 
slow suffocation of real 
the cold rib ache of not enough  
heat to hold hands to in the snow 
if we cant go up in smoke from it 
I'd rather not go at all, lets 
be inexhaustible  
be solar wind and sleep 
volcano hot beside me lets 
be molten love and core trust 
steady flow in fire  
red river rhythm 
we can stop by the sea 
we can go out in steam, but 
years from now. 
miles from this 
right now that has us 
slow waltz transition 
to my awkward tilting tango step 
damned if I let you go 
falling either way 
whisper small the almost all 
I really want to say 
just keep dancing with me
