couldn’t make out
what you had said
hiding behind bergamot
incensed haze diluted
deep breaths pulled
back against the high
feeling our tongues tie
tangled in the other
silk threaded flesh
lacing through
honeydew strands
dripping down
from the shy gaps
in a mutual smile
form seeking reform
softest warmth adored
there is a place for you
in the tangle of us
undone, under closed eyes
pulling closer, pushing out
whatever breath is left
to yield in silence
i will keep it closer
our home in one another
