Exodus 20: In Writing

See voices
Flame like torches
A fiery damp
That coats within,
Can I call your name,
When the air shimmers
Every place lit?
You are the breath in my lungs
The warm dark of my lids
fluttering on my cheek
beating in my chest
Oh God, my God

            ***


Be mine
be here
fill the hollow
peer in the crevice
smash the rock
break me free

Now the airs simmers you
above, below, within
Can I be,
when you fill
my eyes, ears,  dreams?
Your name on my lips
your breath in my mouth
batter my heart
and I die
