the vulgar travellers
beyond my door,
a princess among them
she has faith in me
i almost forgot

i almost forgot that she will not judge
judge me for touching your ears
for blinking against your cheeks

it felt like i was sleeping
the ache dwindling, a moment of noticing
noticing that i was once again calm

the embrace still holds me
so tight i feel it now
my toes are cold, my eyes are heavy
my hope is strong

i wanted to envelop you
toss aside my body, because it is limited
it keeps me from soul loving you
from wrapping the warm soft light of my heart
around your tender body

like a frail creature,
your gaze is an event.
