so slide that way you slide, so shy, wanting mouth open trying to overcome the hideous transgressions that limit the capacity of your heart, your soul so shallow and broken it seems only to slither beneath me again in a lustful dance, a lilting trance, where I learn again to trust you again, and suddenly, I want nothing more than the deepest reaches of your mouth, your long arms like willow branches, the way they wrap around me in times when I no longer desire a simple word, a celestial sign that says, “This is our circadian rhythm, darling, it is a habitual love.” Your words haunt your fingertips, closer my love, kiss the lips that have spoken too deeply, I run from this hatred of myself for what I have let you make me. But you breathe me in like air, and I can feel the pump of blood, the rhythm of two hearts beating together into one bleeding together into one pool of shivering lust.
