Over(we)

My canals fill
Winding and Pouring 
With the rises and falls
Of the Sun
A moon soon arises 
And yet we are still one
As the stars shine
We are shot across the horizon
Burning flames of light like uncontrollable gas 
Particles swoon into the night 
Though tethered
Your fire burns my light 
Scorched in your presence
I now eagerly seek to escape the night
My canals fill
Winding and pouring 
With the rises and falls of the sun
I pray the moon never awakens
For that is the only time we become one.
