m.t.w.r.S. 0/0/1

explain it? as precise as describing emotions can go? alright, i’ll try. it won’t make sense that way, and i think that
 that makes it almost as perfect as i could let out.


—


it was sort of 


like a mint leaf


stuck to the roof of my mouth.


with me,


unknown forces


kept my tongue


pressed and moving


ever so roughly
,

against and harder-


until i could feel the blood.


along with


a soothing burn,


relative to the kinds of pleasure 
brought on by


near-boiling water poured


directly 
over your ankles.

 

the sadistic kind of love you treat yourself to.


—


we kiss


with the beauty of a full bloom under our eyelids.


feeling spring brought upon our skins

as we weave our lights in with the sun during so many of our hours under stick homes not properly equipped with shade.


now that i think of it, we were unbelievably close to the desolation we craved.


—


i’ve lost myself-


or at least in dreams.

though, when awake


i know exactly where i place myself.
