Exchanges

stretched over railing

free to sky,

rock monoliths and

humming street lights

I, a peak

in held time;

drawn heat       as smoke released

                       to mingle;

birdgirl moves close behind,

                                               embraces

                                       exchanges heat

rests her cheek on my shoulder

 and sighs

with countless beings,

lights and air,

opened air

I am far and

                                intensely here

where sky holds
