Sneak away with me

And hang by the cliffs

Near the Southern most sea

Staggered blocks of jutted rocks

That we can step out to

Red layers in rust layers

Above the waters blue

 

I often come

And hug the air

Between the water and me

With the tip of my toes

I hug the edge

While the wind pushes back

Leaving tangles of hair on my head

 

But today lets lay

Absorb the salt we breathe

Pointing our noses

Over the rock to see

There are people below

And we watch them sleep

 

As we lay and talk

Rolling stones off our chest

Red rocks plummet to the ocean

The cliffs start to crumble

And we sit there in the open

 

With everything we share - we sink

Exposed to each other's depths

We accept the darkness

And the nakedness we forget

 

Naked-a cold cold place

For our souls seek warmth

While our frigid bodies shake

 

Soon we'll dose off

Swaddled warm by the sun

 

Too late to hear the voice from above
