Lovers leave at dawn
What did light bring
That wasn't in ember
The fingers of our hearts
Pull apart
As headlines divide the rich and the poor
The hats and the dresses
All the fair and feasts on platters laid
The lace against we pressed
The veil
Enfolding each other
Spinning solid dreams
Heavier and heavier
Tearing flesh from limbs
Reweaving the liquor
of our bones
lovers leave at dawn
what courage do we take
heat
the last stand
of free loving souls
awash in the day
