yeksui

it is whispered,
that not even lovers know where to go.
up the trying trail. or down the absolving
abyss.
the truth is, a whisper invites yeksui all the same;
when navigating a frozen tundra in the
dead of summer
or when heat masquerades as a kiss.
it is pictured,
that not even lovers know where to row.
tackling the wispy waters. or splitting the ethereal
eclipse (in two).
