They locked into each other,
Like long-lost relations,
Orphans divided by time.
He bit her shoulder
& entered her blood forever.
She bit his tongue
& changed the tone of his song.
They walked together astonished
Not to be lonely.
They sought their loneliness
Like lost dogs.
But they were joined together
By tongue & shoulder.
His nightmares woke her,
Her daydreams startled him.
He f*cked so hard,
he thought he'd climb back in her.
She came so hard,
Her skin seemed to dissolve.
She feared she had no yearning
Left to write with.
He feared she'd suck him dry
& glide away.
They spoke of all these things
& locked together.
She figured out
The jigsaw of his heart.
& he unscrambled her
& placed the pieces
With such precision
Nothing came apart.
