flex of breath
into her
she stripped him
of concrete
and stone
~~~~~~~~~~
her hair
fell across his shoulder
leaving echoes
of time
in his ear
~~~~~~~~~~
curdled milk
in stretched heat
rising steam
from cement bowls
leafed spoons never hold up
~~~~~~~~~~
dipping my toes
in the sun
endless ripples
circle out
meeting the green lights of sky
~~~~~~~~~~
her lips
pronounced
in shadows
of red
and guilt
~~~~~~~~~~
unfurled
fern leaves
left spring
with rain
the time in his hands
~~~~~~~~~~
these five lines
blueprint designed
from conception
to fruition
have nothing to do with you
~~~~~~~~~~
his photos
floor scattered
wooden sepia colors
blur
the edges
~~~~~~~~~~
we had drinks
off warm flesh
every lick of thirst
slips across
our wet skin
