a little while, you will be here -
the kittens broke yr glass swan,
that was given to you
only yesterday.
that, & our last vase.
like myself:
when i think of us
on such a narrow
edge -
we dance around each other's skin
to touch; peace,
our minds touch.
we stored all our fears in the basement,
among the books & papers we have no use for
& leaned, 1 on the other -
i found i needed you.
What good are my eyes,
if I can’t see your face.
When you enter a room,
my pulse picks up pace.
That’s me crawling,
under your skin.
One word at a time,
searching for sin.
Together we’ll make it,
all the way to the top.
I just can’t help myself,
please don’t ask me to stop.
Embraced,
But never crushed by the arms of the capture.
She smiled in my face and I dared to smile back,
For warmth was something she could never lack.
Turn off the lights, she said,
Without question my darkest thoughts were fed.
Hi, with a smile,
Hello with a grin,
Have you ever thought maybe he dislikes the color of your skin?
Okay that's enough, no need to think this way,
But seriously, do you think he could love you on any given day?
What does he think of the words that you so carelessly say?
Stand still, shoulders back,
Smile! Not too much, just a crack.
Oh my God, they're walking in my direction,
Forget all the things you could possibly mention.
Bright rising curves,
disco ball glistens on a setting sun.
The Shape is hidden under warm, wet fur.
We are only bodies in transit,
skin to skin.
Filthy, sweating:
involuntary rapture.
A brief sinless violence
Falling to exhaustion.
