Liquidity

It has become obvious
There is a line
between us
A maze
We can't quite coordinate
Between co-friends
And fear

It is the strangest
Most deafening
Uncertainty
I have ever felt
And I aim
To love
Always.

Blackstone

There was a gritty pleasure
Brewing,
Lips thirsty
For the mouth
Of black rock
Beneath
Bones

Crisp and sober
She slipped
Within
Soft and precise
Like a butterfly to nectar

The etchings of my palm
Swerved.
