Breathing Pattern

you can't run away with
your legs wrapped around my back
the world stood still
until your fingers
scratched an x upon my back
if everything's alright, why can't i breathe

so far from now on no screams yet
there's nothing better
than over pressure

and i'll mind the patterns
if you show me when
and you mind the clatter
would you show me then

these glowing shades of shape so shaky
with windows open wide
sleeping means you gave the day up
but waking means you didn't give up
if everything's alright, why can't i breathe

this unequaled taking leaves me
out of breath
scratching names
under your eyes
you won't lose sight

humming careful pressure
our muscles burned for days
our muscles burned for hours
the next day
