We exchange places. Water covers her eyes, her mouth. I inhale her and I am cold. One reflection kisses, the other kills. She sinks through amber depths into green awareness and then floats to the surface singing of a more transparent time.
Night rises like dark wine.
Under the moon's bald eye we drift together, the shadow of one lying darkly on the other. Stands barefoot on the tile. Looks into the mirror suddenly aware of her skull, jaw and pulse just below the surface. She's a skeleton clothed in flesh and thought waiting for wonder vivid with longing under the breast of sky. Last night, she watched sunset until the lost colors of evening.
