Someone one described love as a flushed toilet...

It’s the tiny things that tangle

in my tongue. Like when I’m rotten

and reeking of nightmare fuel and old aches

but we’re still in cadence. Or I am curled

over myself, leaking insecurity and salt,

but the rise and fall of our chests is still rhythmic.

My stomach still fills with damn gypsy moths at the sound

of feet on the staircase, but the truly amazing thing

is the way we pray through the mundane shit of everyday

life. The morning coffee, the evening news, the late night

terrors and sniffles. These are the places where we become,

not man and woman, but one fucking blinding beam of light.
