ecstasy,
non-conforming
we
looked into
each
other’s eyes
to
catch up the sea,
surmised
infinity.
we
felt the pull,
and
held long
the
gentle lull of death,
broke
the hands
that
wound us into dream,
likened
the lure of a stellar scheme,
where
we, breathlessly,
called
upon molten kisses
and
opened the asylum doors.
it
was there that the buildings
fell,
beautifully slanted,
as
our bodies ceased
to
take for granted
the
mystery.
