on an infinite tile, or till it all passes — Chapter II

Chapter I: https://gensociety.com/2023/05/12/hom-nguyen-moondancers-love/
Inspired by an original manuscript from: https://www.instagram.com/poetic.wolf__/

i have yet to know the sound of her voice
her scent as we lie in bed together
as we let the world spin around us
one arm over her belly
the other under her neck
folded over her breast
i can't stop thinking about her
in my arms pressed against me
all the ways in which we tangle
	two spools to a black cat
	stretching the universe

as she looks at me
for the first time in her life
i sing for her
	from shades of a virulent past
	our dangling broken ornaments that tug
	but that is now beside us
	for the past does not exist
i howl for her
	for you!
for everything we've wished
so long as it's love 

	but beyond this
	beyond our moondanced melody
	this here is my discourse 
	in our native language
	these paper words
	are for you
	and you alone
	words you can put ink to
	and howl with at the world
	behind the poetess wolf you hide
	shooting them at your vacant lovers
	to show them what real love is

and through the mask
of what we know each to be
we are cautious because we also know
the ways love can kill...
	we need to reclaim ours
	calm the waters
	stop gallivanting at the sight of 
	another broken promise
	for there is no greater pain in the universe
	than that of a blood moon
	bleeding back to gray

but not us
the world has re-collected our stars
oh no
death will not become us
for here 
you have my heart
and here
between the most desolate of surfaces
we see an alien planet where
we both enter the waters
nude 
submerged
dripping
scribbled in love

like children 
floating the amniotic sea
we hold it as it holds us back
in our one remaining promise 
with one everlasting wish
for our one final lover
