Dare

Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)

Dare your eyes
To lock with mine
Dare your lips
To drip lost breath

Bring your hands
To clamp your chest
Rip apart the rotting skin

Reveal to me
Unfailing kidneys
Consistent beats
Pristine blood

Breathe into me
Resurrect my love
Dare your nostrils
To flare confidence

Dare your feet
To walk my path
Unveil your shadows
Reveal your soul
