air.

eyes closed,
heart open.
a whisper -- thought -- stirs in me so deep
that i cannot even speak it.

'breathe out,
so i may breathe You in.'

inhale.

the taste of You still lingers on my lips;
Your sweetness settles inside my lungs.

exhale.

this Air that i
breathe
is not my own,

and yet it's that very breath
that keeps me alive.
