linger

we were dizzy lust

and low smolder embers

uttering gooseflesh

to pale the strolling bards

 

we swore by deep night murmuring

riding rivers of our sighs

gifting perfumed script

to blush the white

of our sheets

 

you said that you saw angels too

and I never minded

the climb of you

or the tangle of your vines

lilting warm into your gentle

to pool the oceans

of our eyes

 

lingering in strange doorways

our stars turned corners

and bruised our heels

 

once our circles made us

 

only who will moan me now
