The bugs whisper of your coming with their legs,
As the moon hides—
Turning my edge of the world black—
I cannot see, but through the pinholes of stars.
The trees rustle,
Shivering as you pass—
Your heat removed.
I hear nothing
But nature rebelling against you.
But then all goes silent—
The sea stalls,
The crickets feel your vibrations—
Stopping them dead.
The trees hover in stasis,
Wishing they could uproot—
Travel somewhere
You can’t touch.
I welcome your chill—
My bones make music enough
To fill the air,
My breathing—
A sea roar, its own.
I am as aware of your presence
As the sea the moon—
It cannot move
Without the other.
