Youth
In my mind, we greeted each other at the airport and shook hands, then hugged each other. The hug lasted so much longer than any greeting…And I grabbed your hips closer, so I could feel your second pulse. Mine was beating so fast…
We kept up the civil appearances, but after we closed the door your mouth and mine became gluttonously and irreversibly one. I have waited years for your patience to fall, as I crawled back from being a cannibal into being a soul.
