accidentally for the first time
i fell beside you
on purpose
every time after
beating expectation
as if i was a drum
waiting
for the touch of your fingers
on my skin
ready to react
stretched out
across the horizon
underneath your palms
the invisible weight
pressing down
like a sunset
i couldn’t move if i wanted to
i am wrapped tight enough
to react
to catch the slightest graze
to let out the softest cry
or the deepest moan
i am slack enough
not to break
under the weight of our imagination
it tastes like magnolia
the air between the two of us
as it passes between my lips
accidentally for the last time
i fall into you
on purpose
every time after
