That was how I made
a song dropped
from a microphone
into your vault
and it echoed as moans

We wove the song
with our dark and
hairy secrets

with my lightning
driving into
your hollow

It is possible that

one day the song
will grow into
an album:
my face, your soul
make the disk
that is stripped of
its jacket
and enters
a gramophone.
