summer anthems
your closed mouth smile
our thighs touching in the back seat
a forbidden forest
your humble sadness
the sun beating hard on my bronzing back
subtle advances
submerging in yellows
the rain on the window and the roof
stranger’s bedrooms
your steady breathing
the truths i can’t tell myself

your face, my hands
how beautiful that crooked stance
i can still taste the salty skin on my mouth

and our worn spirits, i still feel them
crowding in that empty house,
we dreamt up but couldn’t fill with anything now

so many nights crying out in our sleep
you can’t get your arms wrapped around me
we never thought
that we’d ever have to wander out so far
