Literature Text

you were standing in the lamplight with all the grace and incident of the black sea
and i sat with a scrape of skin pressing into the carpet uncomfortably.

a shift of light moved us quietly into arms, some forgotten touch newly placed.

the only stirring in all the world was the moving of our chests
which at their crests would touch—a faithful mythology of meeting.

titular gestures carried italics and lost their momentum mid-air.
we were xerics of this arid landscape brimmed with sea air.

the shifts of light moving our bodies glared ceremoniously,
our puckering sensations forming a stunning tear.  

we danced as statues with flesh and touch
more soft and real than our real bodies ever had

and covered the subway floor with our gritty concrete shards
—a bloom of breaking that spread and mixed and marked
that linoleum floor, grounded stone(fire)works.

a warm and gathered silence of togetherness.  

the still beat of murk.

no undoing,

these relics
of movement,

ever made

more of love.
new stuffs,

lemme know if you dig it or not and why

There's a lot going on here, and almost all of it couched in fresh and uncluttered language. Thanks for sharing.
