I fell into you like a fever
The moon fell on my shoulders
There was a tertiary stone buried in our stomachs
-a synchronous vibrancy in waves
My heart sweats
My palms are pulsing from your blood
You hid me inside of you
There I was
beside you
You were beside me…
Your thighs tucked closely to mine.
I was beside you
You were beside me
I fell into you
You were beside me like verses
of Shakespeare mirroring a dance
I fell into you like a fever
As the salt earth waned between
The oceans of your elegies
I love the costumes you wear
And I can taste them on your lips;
The ones who die beside you
While your lapel keeps these records of love
I turn beside you
You turn beside me
I turn to share the night
And your voice runs through my throat
