::high priestess::

..days on end in silence..  
..broken by the presence of this creature..  
..bringer of the deepest indigo flavor..  
..you rose out of the smoke..  
..your skin like night jasmine petals in my mouth..  
..blissfully fragrant i savored each dew drop that your early morning left on my lips..
..and when i looked up..  
..you sank.. my most precious love..you sank..  
..trenches deep descending into the void that exists below the sea..  
..unreachable depths..  
..kissing the ghost of your hand..  
..the last of your delicate fingers grasping into nothing..  
..descending into the abyss..  
..land locked..
..feeling the air in my lungs..  
..i cannot follow..
..my toes in my toes..  
..stretched apart by dimensions..
..remembering i have a body on this earthly plane..  
..and so it is..  
..tears filled with farewells..  
..chest keening tight..
..returning to my days of silence..
..reorienting to the dull mundane dust of "normal"..
..honoring the feral beauty of devastation..  
..aho..
