This Is The Piano Dropping

When the earthly darkness
opened its mouth
for a hearty devouring
I escaped
into the hollows
of your lips
which offered
a bounty of light
so persuasive
I soon discovered
every flaw
I wrote out of existence
left me terribly empty
devoid of danger
an old ocean
with no more sailors to swallow
In the absence of blood
I entertained
you in my veins
The party
was my way of inviting
you into me
thinking,
if you stayed
I might
fill back up,
like a cup of water
and then our thirst
would dissipate
like the end of the world
and the birth
of some new ocean
would drown us
together,
entangled in a wave of doom
dancing in our lungs
the both of us,
slowly floating
into
the night
