One night is all it takes

Sweat melting back to gold like we were a couple of alchemists

We crashed our waists together so hard

That the earth spun off its axis  

And everything became instant

This was the hunt, the ****, and the feed all rolled up tightly between the bedsheets

We made love like the gods made the oceans

And the beasts and the entire ******* cosmos

I pressed my lips to your lips

Like the little red button in the president's office that puts an end to everything

Our clothes fell to the floor

Burning like bullet casings

And our bones began a war where there is no loss or peace

Only victory

And we screamed things that have never been written down in an earthly dictionary

Because we were hell rising from the basement of the world to our bedroom

Just for a moment

You and me

Catching infinity in between our breaths
