blanket
limbless we fought
in tunnel of
grey dawn flesh
the sleepless frozen
hand of other
constricting a prison
of meated ribs
bashing
the thud of bone-on-bone
in dark salt airs between
where heat
becomes cold
and void
becomes filled
tent surfaces slathered
and torn roots encoil
as electronic chimes
signal when
the game
is over;
sheltered souls
split sundered

like the way you have captured so much through this little piece,'the grey dawn flesh' is a very evocative phrase.Lovely dark erotic poem.

Short yet immense in it's power. Your juxtaposition of nature and emotion are brilliant.
