there lies a steady promise in the ink of night:
a pot full of indelible black potential;
an unmade bed, pure white yet
unholy,
is a fresh page,
and the walls we unpeel ourselves in
are leather-clad with bound corners.
leave cursive on the square of crumpled linen
two bodies curled like contorted quills
under the warm blanket of feathers and darkness
hold me —
in the hollow of your throat
like a fragmented phrase
dawn as our imminent epilogue,
our greedy hands tore the ending up;
shredded
syllables
swirling
in the quiet air
until nothing was left
but lonely covers.
