the triassic cuddle

you will never know

that i was beside you when it happened

i lay next to you for warmth

but the snowstorm was inevitable

you will never know

that i loved you despite the horrors

despite the shadows and scares

for how hauntingly beautiful it is

to love something so much bigger than you

how hauntingly beautiful it is

to seek warmth

in something that could burn you

you will not survive this

and neither will i

but someday they'll find us

predator and prey

cuddled up under the silence

someday we will be unearthed

in a single breath of stone

our bones whispering warmth

in a world long gone cold
