it was just a scratch and
you made it bleed
into golden particles that
cried my name
in higher heels and lover vibrating
voices.
in that you are.
in that you are my yin you are my
yang.
you are that dark butterfly’s
freedom.
in you i flew.
i was in paris and you were in
my wrists nerved with false
hoping and delirious
writings.
i will not swallow my heartbeat
any longer than you will
summon our unspoken lips.
we broke silences and
covered broken walls but
my memory danced alone
and that dark room it fell in
just lit up in my tears.
but he was there when it almost
happened and the mornings it
grew out of became my night.
my forever night with rained
on shoulders.
i tattooed me in you; you in me.
i began to feel the empty
rose growing sideways on my
sex; and wandering eyes
began to dance on my instants.
don't leave me in this photographs'
universe because the sky will mascarade
the melting scars of our hidden
breathes
before you see our art.
branches of your passions are opaque and
my eyes are filling the thunder’s aging.
finger painted tattoo swallowed my
skin; the pain nuptials the ink
through us in us with us for
this.
crippled hair and
artist palms;
we danced around the coveted
fair.
we danced because the black
is inside.
