Blixen - A Pregnant Light

Ran fingers though you hair

Down your shoulders

Onto your neck

Your eyes darting beneath their lids

Seeing wonderful and beautiful things

I stayed awake

For almost a hour

Just to see you sleep

Just to see if I could see you dream

You would purr when I touched you

West Side Industrial

Brass headboard adornments

One lamp, one light

Drugstore champagne

Light came in through the windows

Stale smoke in the room

Security camera feeds live on TV

Always our way

We slid down the hallway

Marched in black

5 chains

4 boots

1 prayer
