Independence Day

22.07.01 |

a blank sheet

filled with your body
of soft curves
and small dark curls
and long hair covering
the places where my mouth should go

where I fit

in-between the places where
your legs meet
where your limbs bend
where landscapes of skin
bear resemblance of places I have never been

a new home

made out of water and peat moss
wood and sand
accepting and withdrawing
accepting and withdrawing
soft sighs released from your gorgeous mouth

landmarks observed

the historical notations taken in
face placed there
and there
and there again, again
comfort in repetition

all of these things

new every afternoon
reborn every second
of every single day
of every single moment
as I find myself beside you finding myself

undeserving

of you
