napowrimo: a poetic relationship (day 15)

transparent words; the strings still dangle
from the same lips that sprouted them
into existence.

in this moment –
ulterior motives do not exist,
we swallowed our hesitation
hours ago.

we chew ambrosia,
as temporary as it was;
showing the scars & tattoos
we’ve kept hidden.

cosmo-wanderers in
search of connection,
temporarily aligned.

for tonight;
we bare our souls,
and tomorrow,
we will bleed poetry.
