“

When you touch just my ankles, something sizzles

my hair, my lungs.

They tell us about chemistry,

but not about how it comes hand in hand with hunger

not how the shy of another body against yours

will loosen you into boneless

I can barely hold your hand without losing my voice,

God forbid our thighs brush, my cheeks will be wearing red for days

last night I dreamt of you and woke up, gasping

your name like a ghost on my lips

I wonder what will happen when you kiss me.

They’ll be finding my ashes in strange places for days.
