Before last light leaves

Come to me before last light leaves

Before darkness gets on its ship

To sail away into the horizons

Of our breaking landscapes

Come to me before you are not you

And I am not the one always waiting

Before our bed is wrinkled for forever

Before our sheets are tainted with our merged smells of our hot skins. Of flesh. Of bones. Without the Red Sea.
