Subside

Subside.

Let us take your face between our hands,

And twirl you in our fingers, ravel you

In knuckles, nails and skin. There are just two

Of you; just two to see this three-piece band,

And yet, you’re sightless eyes stare into one

Another, mouths left open by design,

Whilst from the trees and grass, and up your spine,

We brush you, scared that soon you will be gone

From us, and back to empty nature’s glade we’ll slide,

Our fingerprints reburying themselves

In soil, to wriggle; worms with worms and stones

And roots to wrap ourselves within. Subside.

We’ll pull our arms back through the earth ourselves,

And hold them to our chests; as close as bones.
