Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

What We Become

Evening chatter
Lotion
Feet
Legs

Hands
Arm
Back
Breast
All of you
Is dressed
And caressed

Kneaded and ready
To rise
Proofing in process
That takes long
Minutes well spent

You are a red
Hot balloon
Ascending
Descending
Ascending
Descending
Ascend
Ascend
ASCEND
ASCEND
AHH
AHHHH
AAAHHHHHSSSSCCCCEEEENNNND!!

Until the ceiling
Cannot contain you
And it becomes
A universal exploration
Of celestial
Bodies

Spin and circle
Lust orbiting lust
Never colliding
But drawn
always
Into the dance of gravity
Closer and closer
Never breaking

Star matter collecting
And splashing
Across this cosmos
That is only the two of us

And a journey of
240 million light years
Happens in
The course of
Of our ecstasy

Time travel
Made real
Nuclear furnace
Fuel burned

The trajectory
Of our passion
Crashes us
Back to this
Blue marble
Cloistered in
One another’s arms

Flesh immortalized
In tephra
Of the memory
Of lovers
Spent.
