Music

Music is
the most breathtaking glimpse  
into all the wonder  
yet to come.  
  
It draws me back  
to that awesome night,  
cruising down the Denver highway.  
Your anxious eyes  
dancing all over me  
as we fled from the unknown  
and raced to meet it;  
   
Till the tank was empty  
and we were miles from  
that last stop light we ran.  
And we clutched each other  
like our last gasps of oxygen,  
employing every last kiss  
we might ever give.  
   
I drew in,  
you bit me,  
I fucked you,  
you loved me,  
and our sweat and tears  
mingled beautifully.
   
The dawn,  
witness to the  
stark beauty  
still racing wildly  
through our youthful lungs.
