wrists

come into the dark, my friend
sit here for a while
i'll watch for lights behind your eyes
and sudden speechless smiles

come over the wall, my friend
where there is all and none
where i and he and we and me
dissolve without the sun

come into the alley, sweet
keep your eyes ahead
all behind’s forgotten now
everything’s been said

come behind the door, my dear
step over that line
sit quite still, and hold your breath
(for we can cheat a little death)
let yourself be mine
