Dust

I am both He and She within the one body. 

I am both under and over within the same skin. 

I am both elated and wretched within the same bones. 

Both in here and in there, I stand as one. 

Living the same dream. 

Fighting the same battle. 

I am both yours and mine within the same bed.
Beneath the same covers.

Buried beneath the same fears

And uplifted by them.

Play that same song

When my bones are picked dry.

Rest me within the embrace of a combustible star

and beneath the shadow of your mountain.
