for now
Across my face
his lips articulate the
supple voice of
a kiss. His streams
of consciousness release
into my speechless rims

and I swallow them like seeds.
Sometimes
they stop behind his eyes and hesitate,
incarcerated leaves in my storm, his

storm. He is
summer translucence,
                   blue amber light
risen from winters
of misperception.
We are heartbeats never heard
times two
                   and if
it’s love, I don’t
want to know.
