Airborne

squeezed together

my torso pressed against your spine

binding

skin-shedding

coiled into one. 

tight grip

you cannot slip

from my fingertips.

winding around your neck

I breathe hot air into your mouth

strands connecting

eyes flicker, connecting

the fading light 

dying.

raspy breath

reborn

you are mine. 

                                                          I am yours.
