aries moon
with no mother tongue
you speak fire.
language could not
name you,
but love can.

infatugaytion
our bodies curve in titillation
eager to fill empty spaces.
we indulge in delicious
dancing, mirroring flirtations
and echoing constant longing
for intimacy relating
to the silk
of taut flames.
strain and balance,
I want to kiss you
when no one’s watching.
these barriers
are just one of many
tropes we trip over,
you, gayer than Sappho
but stuck to men like sap.
me, an underling
longing for a woman on top.
yet
proximity
prioritizes
possibility
and I’m left licking the seeds
of your apple like Eve.
