i was a baby mammoth and you were a giant squid; at first we ignored each other in the classroom but paid close attention to our awkward body language by the parking lot next to the jungle gym
you were just one syllable and i was an entire conversation the subject somehow landed on the preservation of science and the fall of religion
your eyes lit up when i said i was single because you were in a long term relationship
said it was perfect timing because you were ready for marriage
i scoffed at the idea with my legs trembling inside the mouth of quicksand
you pulled me up, told me not to worry and reminded me that the ending was all part of the plan
my ***** swam like a swarm of insects into your gaping wound; spilling over the sides of the womb causing your eyes to roll back; you moaned you were ready to come soon
we came to, as two; our bodies intertwined under the gapped- tooth moonlight smile
this was our crime, we were young at the time
now here we are, older than life permits the body to exist;
i admit, i wouldn't want to share this moment with anyone other than you,
