his body against mine
a tire on the road
like gravity keeping us pulled to the weight that is the floor

like the friction 
of teenage lovers 
between the sheets

oddly enough
it's like a fine-tuned hum 
a well-oiled machine

the energy and pressure; 
it's like speed--no stopping now

my heart pounding within its' cages 
ready to burst out

I'm anticipating the final crash 

we ride through the slow scenery 
through the hills and valleys
through the peaks and down to 
the river bends

I take in every breath 
shutting my eyes

I cling to the moment
holding my breath 
as if I'm diving a free-fall
into the deepest trenches 
of an ancient heart

my eyes stay shut 
as we free-fall together 
hoping to make it last 
just another second longer.
