Fall

fall back into my arms and disarm

carried away by drolling centuries

returned to me by way of the sea

waking in ecstasy

as you collapse into my chest

scant memories of the fight

and a warrior who needs rest

distracted every dream

of this life and every other lived

the bitter years of your absence

they warn me of our immortality

holding your breath

a sign of the times and out of time

play for me your tireless rhythms

inhale me deeply and sing our song

until you fall back into my arms

disarmed
