more or less

one time
i remember
so early
in my room 
with forested walls


i slept
(so early!)


you
had to go...


so,


into my neck, digging
like
a portal it was
or fossil
covered in silt


your straight nose 
inhaled
viscerally
abyss-like-deep


i fell
down


an interval
or loop of time
so tender
that even in silence


i knew you more
