Attraction to Affair (Free Verse)

We weaved in the weak ends

An accidental attraction

Until we met at 3 am

 

The space flowers only bloom at night

Where radios play in waves

The length of blue light

 

The cicadas hummed our names

The steeples peeked our secrets

They've seen our sin from down below

And up above the piquant

 

Racing hearts will slow to sprint

Before the drunken haze relents

Before we ever knew the flavor

Of juices of peaches and apples and candor

 

The hurricane blew letters off the signs

And shifted horoscopes to realign

Stars

Now crossed

 

I guess this makes us lovers

 

Like the flameless flicker of a sinking sun

 

I'll breathe still

As you return

To the arms

Of another

Note: I know, it doesn't make sense... But neither does my life right now. It's the first thing I've written in months, and I'm just drunk enough to post it.
