Tangled bodies on a sofa
on the wrong side of town
Telling stories from when we last met -
Too close?
Shared experiences, shared regrets -
Feelings that only we both seem to get.
You move first, pulling my face to yours,
Do we stop? No,
I go down,
On this strange sofa on the wrong side of town.
———————————————————
Shared desire,
Bodies heaving against each other
Bodies looking for souls
Souls in need of bodies
Using each other to feel something again
In a shared pursuit of meaning
———————————————————
Be it cosmic self-harm,
Or existential release,
In this most intimate of mistakes,
I feel strangely at peace.

this is not what i do...
