Heat Bathes Us I You Stand There Me for You jp melville 2019 Stillness. If I was going to listen I would need silence She sent to me today A message Silence soothes cools calms refreshes nourishes Gone long she is far away Lends to me my space So much more than that… And I remember… Stillness Heat bask among us Your sweat mine Sunlight dances in a doorway Fire wood ash drifting scent of forest white pine oak Scattered white cloud high high above We walk cool skin not talking much Breath taken by altitude Souls of feet no longer on the ground Higher we climb Through pine to meadow Tumble there our loins one yours wet mine Fragrant musk alpine crushed leaves behind your back Scratched there is blood we gather our clothes again To climb To sky What we seek Together (ness) Is found above beyond So where we come to no more trees There we see and clasp snow in our hands Our faces wet again cold
