Love Poem: Rising Touch

Rising Touch

She swoons atop a berg
There air water bullets
On midnight's face cross low —
While then besides the dark
Brims in Gemini froze.

She swoons atop a berg
We try for scraps on ice.
She is yours within me.
Of these miles between us,
This sea's the outer ring.

She swoons atop a berg
The Mercury has sank —
Only a lichen's mum,
A last bob underneath 
For Saturn's interlove.

She swoons atop a berg
Without a jogging stance
To explain to us where —
That midnight neither melts
Air in ice, ice in air.
