Places where we wish to rest,
Traces of what cannot be,
Remnants linger of deep regrets,
Traded words 'tween you and me,
the failure of humanity…
we wrote our vows
behind breathless eyes
our swollen lips
savored our promises
of sweat-bound moans...
while drying our brows
on handed-down pillows
we whispered our vows
in handed-down
words
and fell into their
familiar warmth:
embracing
our own empty
bed
and 'faith' failed
to form trust…
'sacrifice' cowered
somewhere behind us…
and 'co(m)promise'
occurred when our
tongues met
we prayed in each other's
arms,
sliding our words
around our mouths,
slipping them along
our thighs,
allowing them
to moisten our skin
and press hot
against our chests
god
throbbing
within
bathed in passion
we tasted our vows
under our sweat
like crown
beneath coke
like fear
beneath laughter
like lust
below
love
'co-mittere'
never sent forth
for us
our future died
within the hollow
confines
of a withered,
provided
past
that crawled over
our minty teeth
and dropped between
our damp sheets
like
a rotten fruit
thrown to the
ground
a decaying gift
babbling
unholy haunts:
traces of erasures,
absent echoes
restless places
hallowed out
words:
till death do us part
