"The Transposition"


from the ABC set ∙love is the wine

breathe me inside, nei kane

deeper

and deeper still

draw me down into your expanding lungs

feel me glide around their pink walls

inhale me slowly

as i place my hand privately

around your beating heart

we begin to synchronise and

pulse with our lifeforce

wE are now responsible for its rhythm

like a plumeria seed

i expand inside you

through your limbs

out to your toes and fingertips

up into your cerebral cortex

`til my shape mirrors yours

i quietly dwell within

your listening flesh

two becomes one but really

only one half of the other

souls` tearful assembly

profound breathing calms

their emotional euphoria

whilst singing in the key of E sharp major

finally, pronounced as one life heartbeat

two burning, devoted cloaks

drown in wedded harmony.
