the heat of thighs lit up the sky,
I never expected this sunrise,
So warm
born from flesh and bone,
keeping toes curled in cold,
Keeping brows relaxed in salty waves,
I slipped my legs under the covers,
turned over suddenly and right before the sun,
I cried butterflies alone,
who spun back into heated lungs,
time swam in salty waves,
Burning up the kindled sky,
turning back the clock to bodies pressed,
So warm
I cried dreary dark and pulled under myself
the sudden heat of thighs lighting up the sky.

Lighting up the s k y

I never expected this sunrise,
So warm

Keeping brows relaxed in salty waves,

turned over suddenly and right before the sun,
I cried butterflies alone,
who spun back into heated lungs,

Burning up the kindled sky,

So warm
I cried dreary dark and pulled under myself
the sudden heat of thighs lighting up the sky.

I cried butterflies alone

Fabulous line!!!!!!!! That one line definitely made the poem for me. Not to dismiss the rest of the write entirely - but it almost felt, to me I mean, that it wouldn't matter what you put around that line... it is, in and of itself, fabulous enough to merit kudos.
