let that fever play

   Did you hear, I heard,

   that I flew, you flew,

   at dusk, like the foxes,

   my eyes, your eyes,

   silver-white, like foxes,

   and flew, you flew,

   over things, what things,

   in there, in where,

   the trees, what trees,

   reached up, reached what,

   for me, my fur,

   your fur, I heard,

   they pulled, pulled what,

   our love, a ruse,

   was rare, on earth,

   like stars that fall,

   like ice, and spread,

   spread what, my legs,

   your legs, were white,

   silver-white, like ice,

   and shook, shook what,

   my heart, what heart,

   in truth, our love,

   a ruse, on earth,

   was caught, by what,

   by things, what things,

   my tongue, your tongue,

   was white, silver-white,

   like leaves, and split,

   split what, in two,

   like ghosts, at dusk,

   like wings, they whisht,

   not hurt, in truth,

   just lost, a ruse.

   
   

   I love how it reads like a whispered conversation.
