still stale air stirs bewildered memories of
dust down ancient hallways where sounds
of heavy breathing ascend undesirably up
the stair in unrequited heaves wrapped in
old familiar dragging and hooves of heavy
clunking firmly moving forward toward
the bedroom door that slowly unlocks
your voiceless face fresh from a coffer
in the woods you bend to kill me with a
kiss and quell the untamed language of your restless eye
