“Something about the dark.
Something about queer bodies
and the way we find one another.
Something about the place where fear
melts in the mouth and gets lost in kisses
and under fingernails.
Something about the sanctity of trust,
of midnight confessions,
of held breath let out on a sigh
like a smoke signal,
a safe harbor.
Some kind of magic.
The kind that’s only
for us.”
