Killing time on a constant
Just a word or two, slipping into each other
A simple phrase falling together, an accident really
Overheard without warning
Echos. Everything rushes back. Everything
A solid wave of visceral extremes
Memory and dreams
Staggering, even now
Clear eyes wide, intake of breath so sharp
Shocked sound almost crisp, bite caught between tongue, and teeth
Delicious and monsterous
The glass drops, mouth filled with blood and wine
White teeth still holding bottom lip in check
The beginning and the end always taste the same, sound the same
Swaying to the harmony
Hold one up to the light, just to glimpse the other
For always lovers
Maybe it is because they are
Back arching clarity comes with a shudder
Allowing this slip, this sip
To warm like whiskey in an eager throat
Just this once, and again, and again
The sudden dawn replaces soft edges with stark lines, revery breaking too
Fleeting as it was consuming
Exquisitely, choke fades to sigh
This moment passes as all moments do
Until the next swallow,
See you.
