I cyclone them into spheres
encompassing heaven and earth
my mind a doomsday machine
please. I hope pray plead. if this is it let it be quick
and then
your hand fingerwalks into mine
pulling your face your body yourself into view
a blue-eyed eclipse
blotting out everything with one whispered word
you are the only thing I can still touch in this world
please, I hope pray plead, not yet
