“we were both out of the water
both out of it
and really what we wanted was
to screw ourselves into
the place”

“You’d think I was lying to you
if I described precisely
how
implicit to the feeling of your lips
are luminous announcements
of more mystery than Arizona
more than just the imperturbable
convictions
of the cow”

“although it is all the willingness you lend
the world
that makes me want
to clean up everything
in sight
(myself included)

for your possible
discovery”

“Oh! If you would only walk
into this room
again and touch me anywhere
I swear
I would not long for heaven or
for earth
more than I’d wish to stay there
touched
and touching you” CMONNNN 😭😭😭💛💛💛

“Still I am burning unconditional for you”

“I am my soul adrift
the whole night sky denies me light
without you”

“Then how should I
subsist
without the benediction of our bodies
intertwined
or why?”

“Forget about fever
Forget about healthy or unhealthy
this or that
At times
the flesh below the thin skin
of your naked leg
seems to my pilgrim lips
a living column smooth but swollen
with the juice of my new
destiny”

“How easily you held
my hand
beside the low tide
of the world”
