we met early on prior to becoming jaded or
turquoise in whishes bent on hopes. sure into wavelengths sudden into drifting
sipping clear water. I hit a hut so accused so deep into brown crayon—those tales
for a winner those fears in a psych while horror for Stephen King. such
contemporaries as too close while terrified our dam might give; flushed by fury
needing Medicaid as a clown performing its high-wire. so insulting so insolent
too attractive to disagree; or dead silence while provoked to realize beauty is
often ugly. but we met something steamy such curse in melanin; sure blackness
or certain whiteness while lines are too blurry. fire pressed, hearts exploded,
volts shot from mind to loins; we wrestled we clammed up we fell while loving
its fall. such nectar so much forgiveness while culprits were calling; our
ringing phones our soapy bodies our elastic our tightness our unbelievable
forgiveness. a trickle of blood, teeth running into bone while something couldn’t
change. we met while laughing we ached with fierceness we felt like doctors—of deed
or action or anything business wouldn’t fathom. we lied in sin we cried for mud
we wheezed by playfulness—our homes those phones while we had much to redeem.
our music such bass where adoring was off limits. to bathe to start again to
fret insatiable wilderness. to pull away while fighting to jog where detriment
seemed by agreement. so dear in winter so cold during summer while our last
trip was sure psychedelic—at a main mall by fall or bags where we barely
noticed each other. we met in contradiction we unfurled in evening it was midmorning
chasing our excuses. a soul facing theology or a mind becoming a doctor or such
differing backgrounds. so soft into reality such feelings we harbor while one
is accused of those pitfalls—those habits formed, those dreams deferred, those pens
she yielded. if one thing or one feeling while needing a dear demand. if but to
love us to rearrange gods for us if but Athena knew her fame. so rough on
emotion so anti-dedication or reverence to an ideology—if breaking seems vicious!
