4:27 am

My feet 
Have been placed onto grains of an unfamiliar salt 
That don’t sting— but salivate 
For the step of your heel, and the kiss of your 
Eyelashes that you wish on 
Don’t dare to let it slip, or it won’t come true

Have you ever seen the animals when the moon is up?
Like the wind,
The fish do not sleep
And the fins that stretch 
From the spine to your 
Gaze, 
Seem to reflect onto your chest
In the form of a beating drum.
