like love, but less mess
I am double-talked
stuttering
& nothing says I love you better
than silence.
We contradict the classics,
tie our tongues
in attempts to articulate
that which swirls us-
whirlpools & minutes long kisses
spinning in circles
while woven in stationary positions
we dive
scuba gear regalia & only surface
to praise the heavens
for moments like these.
.................................................
half moons
He asked her name,
her dreams,
noticed how her hair
created half moons with the shadow
laughed in the soft
of thoughts
only his own,
called her
the disappearing poet
and made love to her words.

i blame it on the abundance of opportunity today's society offers.
or education.
or cars.
or anything that might explain why we just can't seem to keep our shit together.
