FIVE MINUTES

FIVE MINUTES

five minutes
with you

and you
had rewired everything

can you imagine
what deconstruction,
reconstruction
if I had
   spent a
night?

wandering
out from your arms
into the morning light
totally zombified

only for you
to catch me, hold me
whisper
      our
new secret code

and watch
my insides
turn
silver
otherwise gold

my eyes
see
    through everything

my wings
begin to grow
