Ecdysis

Dig deeper into your bedroom burrows
For the ingrowing splinter you blossom around
She wakes you up from your bed
To sleepwalk you, over the palm of her hand
I’ll wear my shiniest smile to confront her
But she's a black hole swallowing all light

You said: I am yours to save
From the scavenging birds that nest in my chest
You said: All I have I’ll share
From my dinner to the last breath inside my grave

Sleep my dear

Your need dug into me for a place to belong
You picked all of my locks till I was empty
Till there was nothing left
Till I was broken
Despoilt

As she quietly holds
Your remain close to her breast
You'd trade Ariadne into the maze
To see her smile again

Island heart adrift, reclaim all my soil
Just for your seed, to feel it all again

We promised we wouldn’t make the same mistakes
Oh! Atlas shoulders, this dome
Is too bright for our spines

Weaving and weaving and weaving
And weaving and weaving and weaving
​Perfectly embroidered words
​​Over my shoulders as a perfect cloak
​​To disappear below

Oh! Atlas shoulders

As the sky cracks
You can finally see your creator
Crawling on her knees

Oh! Atlas shoulders
