i remember strange faces lamplight vibrations
orange glow sidling sidewalk contemplation
brittle branch snapping footsteps
fists clenching
incoherent sporadic lost love heart wrenching
strong hands into hair warm lips on soft skin
naked writhing thrusting
force him inside
candle shadow dances across chest heaving
in and out of hazy lust shrouded
soul screaming
i remember laughter voids and our secret places
moonlit flesh crawling
simple answer evasions
frustration lines drowning bored empty spaces
inventing correspondence with sentient beings
skeletal embraces floating or stifled elation
if this
love is wrapped in careful lies
when the birds sing of
wandering stars trapped in his eyes
and the spring breeze hangs in her whispered tease
we will call it okay to
fall apart this time
