What if we were
two
Standing at this building's odd angles
Where nerve shafts come to yawn
and resonate
We would walk off the stairs up the stairs and back again
Rocking the madhouse to sleep

This was life
This was something other

We were Adam and Eves, naming each other
Mapping the world into being
Whipped into being
We did not live apart

And on the thirthieth day like so many lost lambs
We knew each other biblically
Gathered to the sky beholding
The total eclipse of our heart
