In this cold spring
where the rain nudges unsettled hour,
let's cuddle beneath the
half-moon
where the stars burst with laughter at night
---and the midnight absorbs the scent of our warms.

Let's strip off our clothes
and fix the broken warm of our things,
be closer to my breath
as our tongues loll in our moan
press your breast on my chest
and let go of your empty demons.

Let's rise above our fears
and...
forget about our tears.
