lost at sea
i was
a blind man in the desert
hands out
groping for anything
and i found your hands
cool against my face
when i was weary
strong in mine

all my weight against you and when it was gone i fell
hit the ground a hundred thousand miles an hour
and we were just animals in snares
your angry eyes in my head
teeth bared
you went for my throat
and i let you
and i put my neck on his cutting board
turned my eyes toward the wall
all lambs and sacrifice
glass and grit in my teeth
and you came to my door
and i put my love in your hands
and you came to his door
hit the ground a hundred thousand miles an hour
and i found your hands
