Do you know that it’s in the way you move; that the breath of mine outlined the heart of yours and my body beat as a whole. It’s in the drumming waves that I found myself suffocating in the raw submission of your hands and the gentle rhythm of the hum that went “alive alive alive.”
Not that it was supposed to mean anything in the beginning, but that it graced the blueprints of my veins and shook the bones in me, and protruded from me, and grounded me into a grave of every fear and bore roots of taboo words on my tongue.
Not that I was supposed to feel anything, but I did.
