Air

Air

Air vanish vanishing aspect and spec a step down and not

stopping by any cold wrist turned cool to the first in the ship

fused the mast with this opened air breath lifted out and set

Silence to silence led crested in some way as the ice was so

clear you had to touch it to know where it was beginning

to change by that unthinking iteration of empty breath

Days formed out of movement each switch and transfer

inside each surface multiple until saved to move away over

what was before only that was left to fill and persuade us

Of being long gone taking our breathing with us for the next

part at the open window embrace to be embraced as cold

water surfaces the stones where you cannot see but hear

The air vibrate thrum this oxygenated depth at this height

pressing onto the mouth the lips passed without altering

through the nose each cool side and then imperceptibly

So that we balanced a precarious way above the abyss

we opened up through to where where we could adjust

our shallow angle of approach that left us a clear space

to fill and to forget
